No, I have never set anything op to be encrypted, that's why I think it is so strange. Somehow it has something to do with my Ultimate Edition 2.4 installation and Grub 2.
I installed on a new 160Gb HD
Skærmbillede--dev-sdb - GParted.png

and used the swap-partition on /dev/sda

I also tried "Recovery mode" and that's even stranger.

Here my keyboard is useless, only thing that work is "Ctrl+Alt-Del" for reboot.

But on the bright side, my keyboard has begone working again under shot down, so when I reach the point where it freeze "shot down" I now kan press "Ctrl+Alt-Del" and then turn off the power just before it reboots - Not ideal :( but works.



I don't know what to do with this, because to my knowledge I haven't lost any data and have not set anything op to be encrypted. I believe - but are not certain - that is has something to do with Grub, witch BTW, I also have reinstalled with synaptic. That did not help either.
The issue does not exist in any of my other OS'es

I know it's not a fix for it, and it did not change anything on the shut-down issue in Ultimate Edition 2.4, but after installing Ultimate Edition 2.5 where Mint used to be, the slowness in Grub disappeared and I don't have the shut-down issue there either.
