The "Starting disk encryption:" section in rc.sysinit should run before rhgb starts up. Right now if you are using rhgb, the system boots up, rhgb starts, then it drops back to the console to prompt for your LUKS passphrase if if you have encrypted volumes configured. You enter the passphrase, then it goes back to rhgb. If disk encryption was started right after udev and then rhgb started up, it would be a little nicer during bootup. Either that or providing some way to prompt for the passphrase via rhgb, but I'm not sure how that would work either.
Hm, there are other bugs requesting that there be a GUI for this. Which to do... If we did this, we would need to move LVM, MD, and fsck earlier as well, which we really don't want to do.
Created attachment 301851 [details] /etc/rc.d/rc patch I didn't like that rhgb started and then fell back to terminal (and never went back) so I simply modified /etc/rc.d/rc (patch attached) which moves the rhgb start to just after the luksOpen. Of course - a graphical passphrase entry would be *much* better (I assume this means hacking luks to call out to rhgb...)
Adding FutureFeature keyword to RFE's.
This will be solved by (in the future) adding a graphical passphrase dialog to the rhgb replacement. Closing as 'WONTFIX' as specified, although the functionality is being looked at.
