Description Hans de Goede 2018-11-22 08:15:57 UTC

Hi,

Starting with Fedora 29 we use deferred fbcon takeover to make the boot flickerfree (well flicker less for now, but on the road to fully flickerfree).

Recent systemd versions only call systemd-vconsole for non dummy-console-s assuming that another console driver will take over before any keyboard input is read. But with deferred fbcon console takeover this is no longer true.

This causes plymouth to read the diskcrypt password with the default keyb keymap instead of with the users one.

This has been fixed in systemd upstream:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/883eb9be985fd86d9cabe967eeeab91cdd396a81

Can you please add this patch to the Fedora 29+ systemd packages for now?

Regards,

Hans

Please set POST on systemd bugzillas which are about applying a patch from upstream. This makes
them easy to spot in the sea of bugs.

This was backported everywhere.
