[Bug 2051478] Re: unlock passphrase doesn't work in plymouth but works in recovery mode

[Nobuto Murata]

** Description changed:

  The system suddenly stopped accepting the existing passphrase on boot.
  However, the passphrase is definitely correct since the same one can be
  used in the recovery mode and it unlocks the volume appropriately.
  
  I'm not sure which recent update brought this behavior.
  
  Last successful graphical boot: 2024-01-28 00:43:09 +0900
  
  Fwiw, the existing passphrase was long enough and contains some special
  characters such as "!". The confusing part is shorter passphrase but
  with "!" seems to work.
  
  WORKAROUND:
  1. boot into the recovery mode
  2. unlock the volume in the console
  3. add a new key with `cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/nvme0n1p3`
+    or remove "splash" from /etc/default/grub and run `update-grub`
  3. reboot
