<p>Doh!</p>
<p>Keyboard driver not loaded.<br>
Use a wired keyboard.</p>
<p>Also, it's best to leave /boot out of the encryption list.</p>

<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Hey everyone, <br><br>I have had the weirdest thing happen. Everything was along fine with my encrypted hard drive using Lubuntu 12.04 and then my keyboard batteries died. So when I started up the system and I got the prompt to enter in my passphrase, naturally it wouldn't enter in because of the dead batteries. So I turned off the system by holding the power button, put in a fresh set of batteries and tried again. Once again, unable to enter in the passphrase. Did a series of three reboots and tried each of the kernels I had (3.x.19,3.x.18, 3.x.17, I think) but once again, no luck. <br>
<br>Nothing entered into the passphrase window & hitting enter did nothing. Suspecting a hardware failure, I went to another computer (already booted Windows 7 box) and tired the wireless keyboard/mouse combo, which worked fine. <br>
<br></div>To add another level of mystery, I can navigate into the BIOS at startup with no issue using the same keyboard and mouse but once I get to the splash screen lubuntu has for the passphrase, I am unable to enter it in. <br>
<br></div>So not sure what to do with this unfortunately. I am going to try a standard USB keyboard to see if I have better results. Also, I am going to double-check that the external drive that I use for backups is disconnected to see if that's interfering for some lame reason.<br>
<br>Worse case scenario is that I might have to mount the encrypted drive & double check I don't have anything that I need to hang onto from my last backup (it backed up last week at some point since I typically don't create new documents everyday nor do I use the machine everyday). <br>
<br></div>Any takers?<br> <br></div><div>Thanks in advance for any insight. <br><br></div>Jonathan<br></div>
