Description of problem: The encryption passphrase prompt is very concise. It even doesn't tell the user that the entered passphrase was wrong and after too many fails it simply does nothing until someone hits enter and the rescue shell appears. It is also not clear what the textbox/prompt does. How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot from a luks encrypted drive 2. the password prompt appears: a simple textbox - nothing else Actual results: - no description about the textbox (what is it for) - no information when the passphrase is wrong - no "wrong passwords entered" counter - no capslock warning: see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=825406 Expected results: - A headline: "The drive xy is encrypted. Please enter your passphrase:" - On wrong passphrases: "This passphrase was not correct. Please try again" - On wrong passphrases: "This is 3 of 5 tries" or something like that - When capslock is activated: "Attention: Capslock is currently activated"
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
