In openSUSE 12.2 and 12.3 the prompt for the passphrase brought up a gui widget which, although not perfect, was a vast improvement over a text prompt in the middle of a load of technical boot information. Without a gui for the passphrase 13.1 is simply not suitable for installation on encrypted devices (net-books, lap-tops etc. I've tried installing 13.1 as an upgrade to an existing 12.3 system, as a new install over an existing 12.3 system and as a new install on unformatted disks accepting the default LVM & encrypted volume group settings and all have a text-based prompt for the passphrase. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install openSUSE 13.1 2.Set up root and swap as encrypted LVM 3. Actual Results: Prompt for passphrase for encrypted LVM appeared as a text prompt within boot reporting Expected Results: As with 12.2 and 12.3 I expected to see a clean user-friendly gui prompt for the passphrase. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
