http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=909912 Bug ID: 909912 Summary: install with encrypted partition lacks timeout parameter Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Factory Version: 201412* Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: ohering@suse.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created attachment 617054 --> http://bugzilla.suse.com/attachment.cgi?id=617054&action=edit boot-failure-1.jpg A fresh install which includes an encrypted partition does not include a timeout= parameter in crypttab (Not sure if thats the actual cause here!). The result is that one is FORCED to pay attention to the boot process to quickly enter the passphrase. Otherwise the user is presented with a black screen and geeky output. I wonder what the value is to not just sit there and wait forever for a passphrase, instead of enter failing state as its done now... If one grabs a translator to decode whats printend on the screen, ctrl D will not actually help. It asks for the password for a few seconds, then the bootsplash is started again. Nothing happens during that time. After a while the same geek screen is shown. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
