Once I push return I get enter password encrypted drive area. Before I hit return I just have a black screen. Can I fix this so it asks for password without hitting return?
Thanks
I am running mint 17.3 and Cinnamon. Its an hp laptop, mobile workstation, core i7, nvidia quadro cuda.

Re: luks boot black screen until return pushed
Anyone???
Its just not prompting me for the boot/encryption password. All I get is a blank black screen.
Is there something I can do?

Re: luks boot black screen until return pushed
Please post the inxi report, from a terminal:
You may disable graphical boot and switch to text mode as a temporary workaround. Edit grub settings as root:
Change following line to:
Update grub:
Code: Select all
inxi -zxxv2Code: Select all
gksu gedit /etc/default/grubCode: Select all
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"Code: Select all
sudo update-grub
