Description Chris Murphy 2013-11-01 22:39:28 UTC
Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora-Live-Desktop-x86_64-20-Beta-TC6.iso
gnome-disk-utility-3.10.0-1.fc20.x86_64


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
0. qemu/kvm boot Live Desktop with a qcow2 device attached that contains a default Fedora 19 installation via Guided partitioning with encryption checked.
1. Launch Disks.
2. Click on the encrypted partition, click unlock button.
3. Enter passphrase to unlock appears; I try to enter password but there is no text or bullets entered. 

Actual results:
Unable to unlock the disk, even meticulously typing the password in the blind.

Error unlocking encrypted device
Error unlocking /dev/vdb2: Command-line 'cryptsetup luksOpen "/dev/vdb2" "luks-<uuid>"' exited with a non-zero exit status 1: (udisks-error-quark, 0)


Expected results:
I should be able to unlock the disk from live media.

Comment 1 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2013-11-01 22:43:10 UTC
Proposed as a Blocker for 20-final by Fedora user chrismurphy using the blocker tracking app because:

 "All elements of the default panel (or equivalent) configuration in all release-blocking desktops must function correctly in typical use."

Comment 2 Chris Murphy 2013-11-01 22:57:19 UTC
cryptsetup luksOpen works. After cryptsetup luksClose and relaunching gnome-disk-utility, it now unlocks this partition.

Reboot, go straight to gnome-disk-utility, it works! It's a Heisenbug!

Discussed at 2013-11-13 blocker review meeting - http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2013-11-13/f20-final-blocker-review-1.2013-11-13-17.01.log.txt . Agreed to delay determination while we attempt to reproduce it. Chris, can you try again with Beta? Others will test this too, thanks to kparal.

Comment 4 Martin Krizek 2013-11-14 10:52:06 UTC
I can't reproduce it with Beta (RC5). I tried it 5 times and unlocking worked each time.

Comment 5 Mike Ruckman 2013-11-14 17:18:53 UTC
Discussed in 2013-11-14 Blocker Review Meeting [1]. Voted as a RejectedBlocker because currently this seems to be very hard to hit, and is therefore rejected as a blocker. Please re-propose if you find a reliable reproducer.

Comment 6 Chris Murphy 2013-11-18 20:04:56 UTC
I now think this is a different bug, where VNC keyboard input simply doesn't work until I click on another application window and then back to TigerVNC's window. This probably should be closed unless it can be reproduced other than with VNC.
