- When a mkinitrd is created, we create PNG files with the name of the encrypted volumes for which LUKS will ask for the passphrase. This however means that the openSUSE users no longer will have the freedom to change Plymouth themes, as that would eliminate above setup and the theme will just show a dialog box for the password.
I know nothing about the plymouth internals - sorry if the following question sounds silly or has an obvious answer ;-) Why does this option make it impossible to change the plymough theme? My guess would be that changing the theme would "just" require to run mkinitrd...
- We add the required fonts and the Pango framework to the initrd, so that plymouth can show text messages while the /usr partition is not available yet. This would increate the size of the initrd.
"bigger initrd" is a relative term - are you talking about 50kB or 10 MB here? (Besides that: does a bigger initrd do any harm?)
- We make sure that the boot-luks script is run before plymouth
- We utilize exactly the same setup as that currently is in place
Those two options will of course work, but as Ludwig already said: All the shiny splash tech and then a prompt in text mode? That would be a shame. For now, all options are OK for me (in other words: don't let the passphrase dialog block everything regarding plymouth), but on the long term I'd like to see option 1 or 2 implemented ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- Such mal im Archiv dieser Liste nach 'reiserfs', oder genauer, nach 'rasierfs' und 'reisswolffs'.
