https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D240760 Bug ID: 240760 Summary: Caps lock key became a character in GELI passphrase entry after upgrading to 12.0 w/root-on-ZFS Product: Base System Version: 12.0-RELEASE Hardware: amd64 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: kern Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: arielmt@thornton2.com A couple years ago, I installed 10.2-RELEASE amd64 on an Acer Aspire One Z (model ZC-700g, Intel Celeron J3160 CPU, 4GB RAM). During installation, I followed the instructions in the FreeBSD Handbook: In section 2.6, I chose Automatic Root-on-ZFS and changed the "Encrypt Disks?" option to yes, and followed the instructions in section 2.6.4. Since then, I updated and upgr= aded following the handbook, release notes, and errata documents. Yesterday, I upgraded from 11.2-RELEASE to 12.0-RELEASE. After shutting do= wn to boot into the new kernel, I entered my passphrase at the GELI prompt whi= ch appears before the boot menu. However, the boot process stalled after the kernel booted, as if I entered a bad passphrase. Double-checking and slowi= ng down my typing had no effect: I was entering the correct passphrase, consistent with all previous startups, but it wasn't being recognized. My current passphrase consists of runs where the letters are uppercase, long enough that it's easier to type with caps lock on. While trying to figure = out what I was doing wrong, I noticed the GELI keypress spinner advance a step = when I turned caps lock on and again when I turned it off; this is new. My passphrase wasn't recognized until I typed it in without the benefit of caps lock. Steps to reproduce: Install (or upgrade to) FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE amd64 with "Automatic Root-on-ZFS," change "Encrypt Disks?" from NO to YES, set a passphrase including uppercase letters. Then, upgrade to 12.0-RELEASE. Expected behavior: The passphrase typed at the boot-time GELI prompt is recognized whether capitals are typed with Shift pressed or capitals are ty= ped with caps lock on. Actual behavior: The passphrase is recognized if capitals are typed with Sh= ift pressed, but it is not recognized if the caps lock key is used during passphrase entry. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
