Description Flags
Check for and use zenity to ask for a passphrase none

Description Wander Boessenkool 2006-12-01 23:27:17 UTC 
Currently when rc.sysinit invokes cryptsetup luksOpen to access an encrypted
partition rc.sysinit will do a chvt 1 to allow a user to enter a passphrase.
With the included patch we check if zenity is available to use a graphical
prompt instead of switching to a text-console.

Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2007-04-16 23:19:38 UTC 
Can't do this at this point for Fedora 7, as it changes strings for translation.
Will reexamine for F8.
Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2007-09-16 20:52:10 UTC 
Did any reexamination happen ?
Comment 4 Bill Nottingham 2007-09-17 18:02:27 UTC 
No.
Comment 5 Jesse Keating 2008-03-31 17:46:13 UTC

saving from zapping

This will be done as part of a rhgb rewrite - this will not be done in
initscripts itself.
