Last weekend I decided to throw out ubuntu and go back to debian,
which I haven't run on the desktop for almost ten years, but I soon
run into this problem. However, lucky for me, someone smarter than me
had the exact same problem (at quite exact the same time) and now it's
solved :) Internet communities are great :) However, my system is in a
kind of a broken state after playing with LVM and encryption so I'm
wondering if there is some simple fix to this if I don't want to wait
for the next testing build? I've seen some suggestions to solutions
here but I'm not skilled enough to sort out what is the "final"
solution and how to actually implement it.. Or should I install stable
and upgrade to testing instead? It would be great if some one could
help me, I'm really excited to try debian! :)

Johan
