Description of problem: When copying a Fedora live image to USB and enabling the encrypted persistent home option, the plymouth password entry screen is only shortly visible and then disappears. As a result, it is not possible to insert the LUKS passphrase and the boot hangs because it is waiting to decrypt the home partition. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): livecd-tools.x86_64 1:22.2-1.fc22 @updates plymouth.x86_64 0.8.9-9.2013.08.14.fc22 @System spin-kickstarts.noarch 0.22.5-1.fc22 @fedora systemd.x86_64 219-25.fc22 @updates How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download the Fedora live XFCE spin. 2. Copy the live image to USB with livecd-iso-to-disk, setting an encrypted home partition: livecd-iso-to-disk --extra-kernel-args "persistenthome=UUID=X-X-X-X" /path/to/iso/file.iso /dev/sdbX 3. Reboot from USB and wait for passphrase dialog to appear. Actual results: The plymouth password entry screen briefly appears, but then disappears as other systemd services are started. As a result, boot hangs because it is waiting for passphrase, which cannot be inserted. Expected results: The pymouth password dialog shows up, the user inserts the password, and boot continues. Additional info: This happens also in basic graphics mode. I expect systemd to be responsible for this, because it continues loading other services that mask the boot prompt. The script from which plymouth ask-for-password is called is in the file fedora-live-base.ks from the spin-kickstarts package.
Same on Fedora 23
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
Please reopen this bug. This problem continues in Fedora Workstation 31
With Fedora 31 and most previous releases the password may be entered after the password: prompt appears on bootup. The text mode startup continues to scroll, hiding the prompt, but it reappears once typing of a password continues. The startup will continue to graphical completion.
