Hello Steve, Thanks for your comments.
As for "no case in which plymouth is not used": I'm afraid I grossly misunderstand when plymouth is used. I experimented the "command-line" behavior I described above when booting in "recovery mode". Is plymouth also used in "recovery mode" or when one removes the 'splash' parameter from the kernel boot options? cryptsetup "provisions" for when plymouth is not installed/active; in '/lib/cryptsetup/cryptdisks.functions', function 'do_luks': [...] if [ -x /bin/plymouth ] && plymouth --ping; then KEYSCRIPT="plymouth ask-for-password --prompt" keyscriptarg=$(printf "$keyscriptarg") else KEYSCRIPT="/lib/cryptsetup/askpass" fi [...] But not a big issue I agree. Merely an "esthetic" one. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1104156 Title: "Continue to wait, or Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery" when waiting for LUKS passphrase To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/1104156/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
