[Bug 1771269] [NEW] Password is not accepted on the first attempt. Must always authenticate twice.

[Michael]

Public bug reported:

I installed Ubuntu 18.04 as the only OS on my Dell Precision M4400.
Enabled encryption and automatic login. When I'm prompted to unlock the
hard drive during start up, I must always enter my password twice. It is
never accepted the first time. This issue persists whenever I'm prompted
to authenticate. For example, when installing an app from Ubuntu
Software. FindRightPackage says, "If your problem is with the
Administration authentication dialog (where you enter your password),
the package is: gksu in Ubuntu and Edubuntu." However, when I enter that
package name in ubuntu-bug gksu, it tells me it isn't a package.
