The problems happens if and only if after I log into the graphical login screen, xfce hangs during startup.

This was adjusted in the early days of the plymouth implementation and that one is just doing the following: if luks_check_ply; then pass=`plymouth ask-for-password --prompt="Enter LUKS Passphrase"` Back then, this would instruct the running plymouth daemon to show the indicated prompt and a field to enter the password. As far as I know, the systemd service systemd-ask-password-plymouth, shouldn't really be necessary as that boot-luks,sh should make the call directly to plymouth itself. The user confirms that this is not always happening, so maybe it is a race between plymouth and the systemd service ? @Frederic, for what else is the systemd-ask-password-plymouth.service used for ? Or could the user safely disable the service and then see if the problem still occurs ?

the ask-password-plymouth service can also be used for quering passphrase for apache SSL server or openvpn. But that's it. -- 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.
