Package: plymouth Followup-For: Bug #897958 Dear Maintainer,
I found the same issue on my system, also just after upgrading to kernel 4.16, once available in testing. I also use full-disk encryption, so I need to input the volume password using Plymouth interface each time the computer boots (don't know whether this is related). Now, after loading the 4.16 kernel, an empty Plymouth splash screen (properly themed) is displayed for approx. 1 minute, during which the ESC key has no effect. After that delay, the input field for entering encryption passphrase is shown and everything boots up and works properly after. (If ESC was pressed during the wait, the text interface also shows up properly after the delay, asking passphrase). Booting kernel 4.16 with 'nosplash' does not reproduce this problem. Booting kernel 4.15 with 'splash' does not reproduce this problem. Thank you in advance and regards, Arnaud Meyer. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.16.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages plymouth depends on: ii init-system-helpers 1.51 ii initramfs-tools 0.130 ii libc6 2.27-3 ii libdrm2 2.4.91-2 ii libplymouth4 0.9.3-2 ii lsb-base 9.20170808 ii systemd 238-4 ii udev 238-4 plymouth recommends no packages.
