stalls for at least some minutes and blocks everything.

gnome-disk-utility is able to unlock encrypted device thanks to another prompt. However, it does not propose to mount the unlocked device.

Furthermore, when try to mount LVM2 PV Device:

sudo mount /dev/mapper/luks-XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX partition0/
Output: 
mount: /mnt/partition0: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member'.
       dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.
