Hello,

I'm running openSUSE 13.2 x86_64.
My /home partition is encrypted and the passphrase is asked by the system at
each boot.

Since a recent update of systemd for openSUSE 13.2 the system gives me only 1
or 2 second to enter the passphrase (it's impossible to type it due to the
length of the passphrase) before launching the session manager (lxdm in my
case).

This problem was discussed on the openSUSE forums :
https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/512301-13-2-got-bust-by-updates-how-to-re-install-with-encrypted-home-partition

A temporary workaround involves logging as root and downgrading systemd to an
older version :
zypper install --oldpackage
