Password for unlocking luks2 on boot is shown in plain text instead of asterisk when in text mode. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot to luks2 password prompt 2. If using the graphical mode, press esc to drop to text mode 3. Type in luks password Actual Results: Password is shown on screen while typing Expected Results: Password is shown as asterisks After pressing enter, a line with the same text as the prompt, but with all the expected asterisk is shown
Rebuilding the last version from 39 (plymouth-22.02.122-5) makes it work as expected. Using 23.360.11 changes the font and shows spaces instead of asterisk, but at least it doesn't show the plaintext password
A bit more info, looks like the space vs asterisk and different font is related to the freetype plugin. If I didn't screw up my bisect, the problem is fully visible after the inclusion of https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/plymouth/plymouth/-/commit/544e62ac41a490f04d8e6b4e85f8b9fa1171b0cc Tried disabling freetype in the latest build, to make it go back to pango, but that didn't seem to work.
Ok, https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/plymouth/plymouth/-/commit/10ac8d2dc927b112ce6aeb06bc73d9c46550954c fixes this
can this please be cherry-picked before f40 ships? thank you
