[Bug 1070934] Re: /scripts/local/cryptroot can't find /dev/mapper/vgubuntu-root

[flrtx]

Thanks a lot for looking into this so quickly, Steve.

First of all: I'm sorry, I made a spelling error. The error message says
"/dev/mapper/vgubuntu-root" and not "/dev/mapper-vgubuntu-root". So this
is not the source of the problem.

I tried booting using the 3.2.0-32 kernel. The strange thing is: I got
the error message but can now use the system nevertheless. As a
temporary solution, this is already great, thanks.

To find a permanent solution: Is it a good idea to run "update-initramfs
-u -k all" or do I risk loosing the working initramfs for the 3.2
kernel? How can I track down the problem further?

Thanks again for your help! (Yesterday, I was a bit angry at Ubuntu, now
I think you're great :) )

Title:
  /scripts/local/cryptroot can't find /dev/mapper/vgubuntu-root

Status in “cryptsetup” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I upgraded my netbook from Ubuntu 12.04 to 12.10 and now it won't boot.
  It is encrypted using cryptsetup and a LVM with a sperate home partition, that means 4 partitions in total:
  - /dev/sda1 unencrypted, mounted to /boot
  - /dev/sda2 encrypted as lukslvm containing vgubuntu-root (/), vgubuntu-home (/home) and swap

  After I've typed in my password, I get the following error message:
  /scripts/local/cryptroot: line 1: can't open /dev/mapper-vgubuntu-root: no such file

  Then, some other processes are started but at some point everything
  just stops and I don't get to a working system.

  I appreciate any kind of help. My computer simply doesn't work at all
  so I'd be glad if this could be solved soon. Thanks.
