Ubuntu 12.04 cryptsetup failing

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 2283 / 3 Years ago, thu, october 7, 2021, 3:42:59

I recently updated my Ubuntu 12.04, and after I restarted the computer just hangs at the following after I type my decrypt password:

cryptsetup: sda5_crypt set up successfully

I don't know how I can debug as the system does not respond to any commands other than Ctrl+Alt+Del. It is very important for me to save the installation.

Does anyone any idea for a starting point of debugging or recovering?

I am running a Lenovo w520, ubuntu 12.04 64b

edit: I am able to log into recovery mode, but when I restart I get the same error.

it appears the reason it freezes was not the cryptsetup like it looked like, but change in monitor-setup. I edited my xorg.conf file using the Ctrl+Alt+F1 and was then able to boot again.
