Comment # 6 on bug 789655 from
Reproduced the issue on a fresh installed 13.1 by running:

systemd-ask-password --no-tty bla

The log shows that the password request is forwarded correctly to plymouth:

-->--

The problem is that plymouth isn't running:

-->--
linux-vi8k:~ # systemctl status systemd-ask-password-plymouth.service

Using kde I saw the same behaviour and detected in the logs that plymouth was
terminated by kdm:

-->--
Jan 23 12:31:46 vm-granita kdm[1774]: plymouth is running
Jan 23 12:31:46 vm-granita kdm[1774]: plymouth is active on VT 7, reusing for
:0
Jan 23 12:31:46 vm-granita kdm[1774]: plymouth should quit after server startup
Jan 23 12:31:47 vm-granita kdm[1774]: Quitting Plymouth with transition
Jan 23 12:31:47 vm-granita kdm[1774]: Is Plymouth still running? no
--<--

Using gnome, I didn't see a message that plymouth gets stopped.
However, obviously it isn't running.

Ismail, could you take a look?
