OK,  however I am not going to be able to create the problem report for a
week or so as I am on the road until then.

Title:
  Password not accepted graphical boot for encrypted root system

Status in plymouth package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After upgrading to 14.10 from 14.04, I am unable to enter my password for decypting the root filesystem.  The password is echoed in plaintext on the  graphic boot screen and does not show up in the password entry box  on the graphic.   In order to boot the system, I have to boot in recovery mode and enter the password during the text mode boot.  This problem was also described by another user in problem# 1385027.   I did not have a probem in 14.04.   I am using nvidia drivers.   I am set to resolution 1920x1200.  I am running module uvesafb with changes to /etc/default/grub for the module and resolution.  I assume this is a plymouth package bug but am not positive.
