[Bug 665789] Re: plymouth breaks 'read' in initramfs

[Marc MERLIN]

Sorry, I'm going to re-open this because this is still an unaddressed bug:
- plymouth breaks initramfs' cryptsetup.
- it grabs stdin away from its shell scripts with no rationale as to why or how to turn it off
- i t is utterly undocumented whch is unacceptable for a core piece of the system (please point me to docs if I was unable to find them somehow).
- it breaks cryptsetup's keyscript=/sbin/cryptgetpw

At the very very least
"you can add a file to /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/ that sets FRAMEBUFFER=n to override the inclusion of plymouth in the initramfs"
needs to be documented somewhere if breaking cryptsetup functionality in initramfs is absolutely necessary.

** Changed in: plymouth (Ubuntu)
