issue with Ubuntu 10.04 Server LTS with ecryption

[Fullmetal Chocobo]

I have done 3 fresh installs, 2 32-bit (my environment works better on this), and one 64-bit, and every time I get the same result. When I finally finish the install and encryption, I go to enter the password, and I get a prompt at every keypress, with the string ending in (md5). This seems very odd, and I'm not sure if there was a change in the way they do the authentication at the beginning of boot.

Did I miss a setting (such as the installation of GRUB?), or is that just how the new feature reacts when you are typing in your passphrase?

I'm currently reloading 9.10 Server until I can figure out what is going on.

Yo FMC. I'm downloading Ubuntu 10.04 Server LTS right now and I'll check it out when it's done.

I haven't seen that issue, did you use the Desktop or the alternate install cd? Also, did you setup the full disk encryption or just the home folder encryption?

I haven't put in any 10.04 servers yet, but I did do a fresh install on my laptop with the alternate install cd, with home folder encryption, and have not seen anything like the OP is talking about.

Full disk encryption, using Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS (I can't find a non-LTS version on their site. ). I am installing it on a VM now, and will post screen shots when I get to that point.

LTS is just a way of ubuntu saying that this release will continue to get security patches until after the next LTS is released. IIRC they've been doing LTS releases every 2 years except for maybe for the first 2.

I know. But for every version prior (IIRC), they offered the standard server version and the LTS separately. Now it seems they only have a LTS version. I know it doesn't matter, but I'm trying to keep my variables limited when I'm troubleshooting these issues / differences between my servers and their installs. On every LAMP config I have setup thus far, it has Ubuntu Server 9.04 Server (not Server LTS).

I know it probably doesn't matter at all really...

I think you are missing the point. Only certain releases will get tagged as LTS and it applies to every version(Desktop, Server) in that release(10.04 in this case). Desktop, Server, Netbook, Alternate, etc are just a different set of defaults/packages for the installer, the underlying OS is the same.

If you want to use a NON-LTS Ubuntu you have to downgrade to the previous release.

FMC, LTS only refers to the support timeline. It has a "LongTerm Support" timeline. The packages are the same selection as a non-LTS 6-month release. They just rolled the usual 2-year non-LTS/LTS into the same release. All packages will be the same, the OS is the same, only look out for kernel compilation for the newer kernel. VMware doesn't compile.

As for the disk encryption, I'm getting a VM up soon.

Hey FMC, I'm getting the same behavior. Are you running in VMware or a physical host?

I've done both. ESXi and two physical machines. I get the same thing every single time. I've gone back to a previous version, because not only is it annoying, but it indicated number of keystrokes in a password, etc.
