[Bug 728611] Re: [natty] text does not display in plymouth (disk check, passphrase prompts)

[Matthias Schmidt]

Can confirm this bug with three different machines running natty amd64
and LUKS disc encryption. No password prompt is visible. I can either
enter the pass phrase blindly or disable the splash mode in
/etc/default/grub. To whom it may concern, I set
LINUX_GFXPAYLOAD="text".

I have plymouth Version 0.8.2-2ubuntu23.

Title:
  [natty] text does not display in plymouth (disk check, passphrase
  prompts)

Status in “initramfs-tools” source package in Natty:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: plymouth

  During boot, if there is a disk check due, fsck starts checking the
  disk but there is no visual feedback at all shown by plymouth.
  Somebody who does not know that disks are being checked will think
  that the boot-up process takes tens of minutes in case of a larger
  disk.
