[Bug 1531964] Re: Unable to unlock cryptsetup with external keyboard when using MODULES=dep

[Simon Déziel]

Unfortunately, this is still an issue on Jammy:

$ lsb_release -rd

$ cat /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/modules.conf 
# File managed by Puppet
MODULES=dep

$ grep -v ^# /etc/initramfs-tools/modules 
hid
hid_generic
usbhid
xxhash_generic

Without the hid related modules, I cannot use my external keyboard to
unlock my cryptsetup.

Title:
  Unable to unlock cryptsetup with external keyboard when using
  MODULES=dep

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Incomplete
Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In order to unlock my root FS using an external keyboard I need to add
  the following:

   hid_generic
   mac_hid
   usbhid

  to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules. Otherwise, only the laptop's built-in
  keyboard works.

  In LP: #229732, this was fixed by loading a few modules in the panic
  function. It seems the list of module could be augmented.
