i think at some point in rhel 7 we started shipping fonts in initrd. if so, we should do same im rhel 8 Any way I can try this out on RHEL 8 if this is the font issue? I am booting in EFI mode here. should just be a matter of doing a build with this patch: https://src.osci.redhat.com/rpms/plymouth/blob/rhel-7.7/f/ship-label-plugin-in-initrd.patch can you put plymouth.debug=stream:/dev/kmsg on the kernel command line , reproduce, and then attach dmesg ? Created attachment 1589361 [details]
dmesg from verbose plymouth
sigh [ 31.419577] plymouthd: 990 output lines suppressed due to ratelimiting can you just do plymouth.debug instead of plymouth.debug=stream:/dev/kmsg and then post /var/log/plymouth.log ? Created attachment 1590674 [details]
plymouth debug log
I guess you meant /var/log/plymouth-debug.log
any news on this bug? I still suspect it's not a plymouth issue, but hard to say without reproducing locally. unfortunately the logs with timestamps are missing large chunks (presumably from rate limiting) and the logs without timestamps are missing... timestamps. moving back to ASSIGNED for now until I can get a chance to reproduce in a vm. Same issue on a clean F31 install. Just a screen with the prompt and a Fedora logo, and no text saying what this is all about. Also typing in the wrong password doesn't say anything about how it was a wrong password, just drops into the same screen. that's definitely expected in Fedora at the moment. Huh? Should I file it as a separate, Fedora bug then? I consider it an issue that there's no explanation on that screen. This is the bug that I came across when searching bugzilla with the goal to file an issue, so I commented here. It would be appropriate to file a Fedora bug if you'd like to see the behavior changed in Fedora. It might make sense for Fedora to behave the same as RHEL in this case, but I just wanted to point out that the current behavior in Fedora is "by design" (for various reasons...showing text in the initramfs requires adding fonts, font rendering libraries and translations to the initramfs, there shouldn't be any ambiguity over what password is being asked for, so not strictly necessary to be specific, etc, etc). Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.
