[Bug 2114156] Re: crypttab breaks display controls

[Paul Taylor]

Maybe the title with crypttab was correct, because

merely having these lines in my /etc/cryottab and /etc/fstab breaks the display controls,
without apt-installing or removing any software.

Title:
  crypttab breaks display controls

Status in cryptsetup package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Following a clean installation of XUbuntu 24-04 (updated) and then
  "apt update" and "apt upgrade"

  I did "apt install cryptsetup" and hand editted /etc/crypttab and
  /etc/fstab to point to a pre-existing encrypted partition that had
  been created using the same methods.  Then I re-booted.

  During boot, there is a brown text box, but it seems the keyboard is
  not recognised.

  So instead I use the recovery mode on both screens ("advanced options"
  and "recovery mode") and type the password amongst the boot log text.
  Then login proceeds correctly, with the encrypted partition mounted
  and readable.

  But in addition to this, the Fn-F8/F9 keys, which without cryptsetup
  controlled the screen brightness, no longer do that.

  Moreover, in Settings/Display, the laptop screen, which had been
  called "laptop" without cryptsetup, is now called "None".

  Also, an external LCD monitor connected by an HDMI cable, which had
  been recognised without cryptsetup, is no longer recognised.
