** Description changed: - When you use full-disk encryption with LVM as per the alternate - installer or the netboot installer, during bootup you are presented with - a text box to enter the HDD encryption password. + [Impact] + Text labels are not displayed at all by plymouth on i386 when using the script plugin (used by all of the default *buntu graphical themes). As a result, prompting for passphrases for full-disk encryption confusingly gives no text explanation, and there is no information about fsck progress - or instructions about what to do in the case of an fsck failure. + + [Test case] + 1. On an i386 system, install plymouth-theme-ubuntu-logo if not already installed + 2. stop any X sessions + 3. from a console, run: plymouthd --tty=/dev/tty7 --kernel-command-line='splash' && plymouth show-splash && plymouth ask-for-password --prompt='Do you see this text?' && plymouth quit + 4. verify that a plymouth splash screen is shown with a blank text field, but no prompt. + 5. install the plymouth package from raring-proposed. + 6. rerun the test from step 3. + 7. verify that a plymouth splash screen is shown with a blank text field, but the prompt is now shown. + + [Regression potential] + The fix for this is to add a header include to fix a missing prototype, so the risk of regression is minimal; if there are any side effects from this change, they will be completely unpredictable. + + + When you use full-disk encryption with LVM as per the alternate installer or the netboot installer, during bootup you are presented with a text box to enter the HDD encryption password. On Precise this box was presented with a message to enter the password for the specified disk by uuid. In raring, this is no longer the case. There's just the box. If this is hardware-specific, this was tested on a Dell e6410 laptop.
