[Bug 1225136] Re: 13.10 regression: No password asked for encrypted partitions during boot

> Using the defaults.

Yes, but the defaults will result in a different boot experience
depending on the hardware and the driver configuration.  Are you using
binary drivers?  Do you get the text experience that I describe - where
typing causes the passphrase prompt to show up after having been
overwritten - or do you get something else?  Is there any chance you
could take a picture of what you're getting on boot?

Ok, I certainly can't reproduce this.  With either the graphical or the
text frontend, the passphrase prompt takes precedence over the "press S
or M" prompt, as expected/designed.

Title:
  13.10 regression: No password asked for encrypted partitions during
  boot

Status in “cryptsetup” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  # cat /etc/crypttab 
  home                /dev/sda3         none         luks

  # cat /etc/fstab
  ...
  /dev/mapper/home   /home           ext4     defaults    0       0

  During boot, there's a message that /home isn't ready or not present.
  Skip or Manual recovery

  Expected: prompt me for password

  This works:
  cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda3 home; mount /home

  13.04 used to work with same setup (and it also detected the encrypted
  partition during install, and set it up for me. 13.10 ignores it)
