[Bug 851960] New: No grub gui to enter disk encryption password
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=851960 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=851960#c0 Summary: No grub gui to enter disk encryption password Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 13.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 13.1 Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Bootloader AssignedTo: jsrain@suse.com ReportedBy: s.handgraaf@xs4all.nl QAContact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:25.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/25.0 After upgrading from opensuse 12.3 to opensuse 13.1 the bootloader grub disk decryption password interface has no gui anymore. The user is directed to a shell interface to enter the password to unlock the disk. 12.3 did have this gui directly after the kernel selection screen. For unknown reasons it does not appear to be installed during an upgrade from 12.3 to 13.1. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install opensuse 12.3 with gui (opensuse branded) bootloader grub/grub2 2. upgrade from opensuse 12.3 to 13.1 3. bootloader gui is partly gone: missing gui screen to enter password Actual Results: shell screen (text only including system information) to enter password Expected Results: Graphical screen to enter password during bootloader process. I tend to call it a normal bug: users choosing to use a gui as bootloader are not capable to understand a shell/text only interface including unwanted and irrelevant technical system information. Marked bug as minor. Somebody probably did not have time to create the gui screen for the branded bootloader? -- 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.

What are the last messages on the screen? -- 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.

On my systems it happens after loading the kernel and initrd, therefore I would say it is not related to the bootloader but to the LUKS pass phrase dialogue included in the initrd. I am observing this on a system with grub and another one with grub2. Both systems were upgraded from 12.3 with zypper dup and in 12.3 had a simple graphical screen requesting the pass phrase. In 13.1 after the graphical grub* boot menu and after showing Loading kernel... Loading initrd... the screen is switched to text mode, the last lines displayed at this text screen are: Volume group "system" not found Volume group "system" not found Volume group "system" not found Volume group "system" not found *** Note: only US keyboard layout is supported. *** Please ensure that the password is typed correctly. Waiting for device /dev/disk/by-id/... to appear: ok Unlocking cr_sd... (/dev/disk/by-id/...)
