[Bug 434232] Re: cryptsetup prompt is overriden by upstart and xsplash in Karmic

[Saïvann Carignan]

Ulrich Lukas : Please don't change the bug status, Triaged is more
appropriate than Confirmed here. As mentionned in previous comments,
this bug affect very rare user customisations where the root filesystem
does not depend on cryptsetup. In your case, you can easily use a
workaround to enjoy Karmic without that bug, you just need to edit /etc
/initramfs-tools/conf.d/cryptroot so usplash ask you the passphrase from
the initramfs (before ubuntu starts to boot, like when you install
ubuntu on cryptsetup partitions using ubuntu alternate CD).

Or you can simply copy these commands (in good order) in a terminal (and
take care to change /dev/sda1 by the device name of your real cryptsetup
partition). These will do all the job for you.

sudo bash
echo 'CRYPTROOT=target=pvcrypt,source=/dev/sda1' > /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/cryptroot
update-initramfs -u

If you need more assistance, please don't comment in the bug report, you
can contact me directly if you want, or use ubuntuforums or launchpad
answers.
