cmdline += rd.shell rd.break rd.debug rd.plymouth=0
with rd.plymouth=0, self created password prompts do not becomes visible. user has to enter password blind to proceed.

02-rd.plymouth-0-fail-init.log.png
init.log shows that printf for Password is indeed called, but loginit is redirecting it's output somewhere else.
loginit's behavior is strange in the regard that specifying rd.debug will only cause debug output to be shown on console until loginit is called. after that everything goes only into /run/initramfs/init.log. yet specifying cmdline += "rd.debug quiet" will cause all debug output to be shown on console. "quiet" in this case seems to equal *more* output instead of less. that makes no sense. printf password prompt is shown correctly when removing "rd.debug" from cmdline.

found another bug. with long passwords and a vconsole.font that cannot fit all asterisks on single line, dracut will print an extra prompt line for every asterisk that goes over the line length limit.
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

This would be a bug in cryptsetup. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora19 should be fixed in current dracut Please reopen, if this is still an issue. |
