Unrelated to last question but couldn't find documented

So when I installed ubuntu, I picked the encrypted LVM option. When I turn on my computer I get the first screen, but I cant type... So I restart and it boots to the second one... Is there a shortcut key or something I'm missing that will allow nr to type my password at the first screen?

This is new to me. Here is a thing about the option...
What are the advantages/disadvantages of the new encryption feature in Ubuntu 13.10

Are you using a USB Keyboard to where there is a missing driver so the keyboard is non functional? If computer has a PS2 port you can try a PS2 type keyboard vs USB and see if that helps.

Sorry about that.  Is there an option for me to fix the subject that I'm not seeing?

Your have to edit your post right away to fix a subject line. Before others start posting.

I'd wipe the installation and go with a clean installation without encryption and see if system behaves. If it does, then try encryption again. Its possible to have a bad installation disc so download a new ISO and burn that to disc or thumb drive and try again, otherwise it sounds like a quite possible bug with your hardware and the encryption feature. Ubuntu forums might help better if its a bug with a specific combination of hardware. They might direct you to a script or patch to run to gather more information or correct for this since its all open source and could be modified to correct or simply patch an issue.

I started a thread over there.

Good to see you already got a response there. The fact that you upgraded it forward, they might suggest you go back to original LTS even though you said it was a problem from the beginning. The LTS support group may request this to compare apples to apples.

Best of luck. I will check on occasion to see what they suggest there. It has my curiosity since I too use Linux on some systems although primarily Mint

It took me a while to get ubuntu set just how I want it.
I really don't want to go back and start over with a fresh install, but I might have too.
Before I go that far I will upgrade to 15.10 using

Code: [Select]

sudo do-release-upgrade -dIt probably won't fix it, but maybe someone over there will help troubleshoot...

My parents gave me an ssd for Christmas, so I am going to reinstall Ubuntu 15.10 from a USB drive.  I will use the same options and I'll reply to this post with results.

It seems to be working now...
Though I haven't installed the amd drivers yet.
