[Bug 1187318] Re: Splash skips text when asking for LUKS password

[Ballock]

Cryptroot not related. I am able to reproduce it with the original
installer.

I managed to see the prompt, when I did not select any additional
software during install (I guess it's text-based plymouth then).
However, when I install with the ubuntu-desktop task selected, I get a
more graphical plymouth screen without the prompt.

I am attaching a screenshot of a precise, raring and saucy VMs just
freshly installed with the seed file.

The Precise machine has actually given an "error: no video mode
selected" on this run, so I guess this is the reason it's not in
graphics mode. I will try to make it run plymouth with graphics. On the
bottom you can see saucy and raring prompting to input something (the
password).

Title:
  Splash skips text when asking for LUKS password

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When you use full-disk encryption with LVM as per the alternate
  installer or the netboot installer, during bootup you are presented
  with a text box to enter the HDD encryption password.

  On Precise this box was presented with a message to enter the password
  for the specified disk by uuid. In raring, this is no longer the case.
  There's just the box.

  If this is hardware-specific, this was tested on a Dell e6410 laptop.

  See the attachment.
