[Bug 1986868] Re: Cannot unlock encrypted root after upgrading to 22.04 redux

[Steve Langasek]

Reassigning this bug to cryptsetup.  ubuntu-release-upgrader does not
unlock encrypted devices.

You ask if the fix for bug #1979159 has been released to -updates and it
has.  However, you have given us no reason to think that you are
affected by the same bug as the submitter of that bug report, which to
our knowledge does not affect any users that have installed Ubuntu at
any point using the default cryptsetup options.

There is an unrelated bug that has been filed, reporting that a kernel
upgrade has made cryptsetup unlocking unreliable at boot.  It is
possible you are/were affected by this bug.

reinstall via a backup.

That is unfortunate, as your bug report includes no debugging
information that would allow us to pinpoint the nature of the issue you
experienced.  So if you are no longer able to reproduce the bug, we have
nothing to go on.  All of our own upgrade tests have shown cryptsetup to
work at boot after upgrade.

I will leave this bug report in 'incomplete' status, but if no further
information is forthcoming, it will eventually close automatically.

  whose fix does not seem to be applying to upgrades using the official
  Ubuntu 22.04 upgrade pop-up notification.

  I seem to have encountered this bug during a upgrade via the official
  upgrade pop-up notification.

  Has the fix in 1979159 in fact been moved to -updates and would be
  included in a regular installation?

  I upgraded a Ubuntu 20.04 desktop PC after it received the Ubuntu
  22.04 upgrade pop-up notification, but could not unlock my encrypted
  root after reboot, instead receiving an error to the effect of "Gave
  up waiting for root device, ubuntu--vg-root does not exist" (not exact
  wording).

  The workaround in 1979159 via live boot + chroot did not seem to work,
  and neither did running update + dist-upgrade which I hoped to resolve
  the OpenSSL issue, though I was able to unlock manually via live boot.
  I was pressed for time so did not pursue it further and did a full
  reinstall via a backup.

  I did not enable `jammy-proposed` for this failed upgrade as I did in
  my initial successful testing of the 1979159 fix, which makes me
  suspect this fix is not being included in upgrades done via `ubuntu-
  release-upgrader` or `do-release-upgrade`.
