Ok, let's summarize the discussion. At the moment Plymouth shows only a dialog box to enter a password. Question is if we can indicate to the user for what he/she needs to enter the password. Whatever solution we come up with, we have to keep in mind that actually the Plymouth theme is the one that communicates with the user. This in mind, I see four possible solutions: 1) When a mkinitrd is created, we create PNG files with the name of the encrypted volumes for which LUKS will ask for the passphrase. This however means that the openSUSE users no longer will have the freedom to change Plymouth themes, as that would eliminate above setup and the theme will just show a dialog box for the password. 2) We add the required fonts and the Pango framework to the initrd, so that plymouth can show text messages while the /usr partition is not available yet. This would increate the size of the initrd. 3) We make sure that the boot-luks script is run before plymouth becomes active. This means that from the Graphical grub menu, we would jump to a text screen where the password can be entered and after LUKS has unlocked the drives, plymouth is started and used as a bootsplash. 4) We utilize exactly the same setup as that currently is in place with splashy. We start plymouth as soon as possible and when LUKS requires a password, then we switch to the detail screen where we then can use the standard commands to show text and ask for the password. Once we have the passwords, we then switch back to the graphical splash screen. I still have to test option 4, but in my opinion this would be the best method to move forward with. As indicated this is also the current method with splashy. I don't like the idea to create something where people are stuck with and no longer have the option to have the freedom to choose any theme they want.
