[Bug 1205054] Re: Unpolished prompt for encrypted-disk passphrase

[Daniel Richard G.]

Would it be possible to reformat the prompt for a better fit? E.g. use
UUID= instead of /dev/disk/by-uuid/, and maybe break it out across
multiple lines, like

    ---- Unlocking disk ----
    Device: UUID=12345678-1234-1234-1234-12345678abcd
    Target: sda2_crypt
    Enter passphrase: [________]

(Of course, this really ought to be handled using a proper graphical
dialog, but then this is probably not a common use case...)

Title:
  Unpolished prompt for encrypted-disk passphrase

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This concerns plymouth 0.8.8-0ubuntu6.1 as deployed on Xubuntu raring.

  I installed from the live CD, and set up encrypted volumes. When
  booting into the new system, I am prompted for the passphrase at the
  splash screen. Unfortunately, the text of the prompt is not formatted
  to fit the screen, giving it an unpolished, un-Ubuntu-like look. A
  screenshot is attached.
