https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1225299 Bug ID: 1225299 Summary: systemd-boot doesn't display passphrase prompt for decryption until a key is pressed Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Bootloader Assignee: screening-team-bugs@suse.de Reporter: db@mail25.net QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Target Milestone: --- Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created attachment 875117 --> https://bugzilla.suse.com/attachment.cgi?id=875117&action=edit no prompt Installed TW with systemd-boot on my laptop about a month ago. It has 1 drive (nvme), it has one partition for /boot/efi, one for root and an encrypted partition for /home, no LVM. When booting the kernel messages just stop and there's no indicator asking to enter the passphrase for /home partition unless I press a key, then the prompt "Please enter passphrase for disk..." appears. Or if I press escape then it displays this gray semi-graphical screen with the same message. The kernel command line contains 'splash=silent quiet' and Plymouth is installed, I didn't do any configuration there but it's not displayed, just plain kernel messages when booting. It would be nice to have a better passphrase prompt especially on a 14" 2880x1800 screen where the kernel messages are tiny. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
