Description Viorel-Cătălin Răpițeanu 2016-08-25 21:04:06 UTC

The password textfield is not displayed when the hard disk is encrypted.

Reproducible steps:
- Have the latest plymouth git version installed.
- Use systemd-boot to start the system.
- Have the kernel command line properly set to display the splash screen (splash).
- Use the correct mkinit config to start the splash (HOOKS= ... plymouth ... plymouth-encrypt ... )
- Boot up the system.

Expected behaviour:
- At boot a password input textfield should appear on the screen on top of the blue background. If the password was correctly set, the KDE splash should then appear and the booting should start.

Observed behaviour:
- At boot only a static blue background appears on the screen. The key input events are correctly sent, so if you insert the correct password, the system will boot, but the static background will not change through the whole boot sequence.

Observation:
- Switch from the plymouth (blue static background) to the console and correctly insert the password. After the system has begin to start, switch back to the plymouth and the KDE logo should correctly displayed.

Depending on which git version you are talking about the background isn't blue. The password field code also hasn't changed since 5.7.1 and continues to pass the ask-for-password test we have [1].

Sounds more like your initramfs doesn't include the png assets of the theme. Check that. If you believe that to be in order, get a debug log of plymouth.

> Depending on which git version you are talking about the background isn't blue.
I was refering to the git plymouth version (https://cgit.freedesktop.org/plymouth/), not the KDE plymouth splash screen. The last version tested was 5.7.4.

> Sounds more like your initramfs doesn't include the png assets of the theme.
Can you tell me how verify this?  I've attached a dmesg output displays the timestamps of the plymouth debug messages during boot.
