Would it be possible to add a display label field in /etc/crypttab and
then use it when prompting? "Enter passphrase for the root filesystem"
would be more user-friendly compared to /dev/sda2 or UUIDs.

I don't think xubuntu-logo theme is much different from ubuntu-logo
theme, maybe it's just the case of low resolution? the screenshots
provided are only 640x480 and thus there really isn't much room for all
of these messages.

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: []
> Still need a better way of displaying the long disk UUID.
Ok. So there is a longstanding request for word-wrapping in these
messages, but that requires per-theme changes and is not straightforward
to implement; I don't expect this to be resolved any time soon.
The other options are:
- change
The prompt does look better in the Ubuntu theme, at least as far as
error messages are concerned. Still need a better way of displaying the
long disk UUID.

I have not seen this problem locally. Can you confirm that you see this
behavior if you switch to the Ubuntu plymouth theme? This may be a bug

I also set /home to be encrypted---not at all an unusual setup---and the
system doesn't appear to be aware that it needs to be unlocked first,
resulting in more verbiage being dumped to the splash screen.

Even when the disk is successfully unlocked, the previous error message
still remains.

Unfortunately, things get worse from there. If the passphrase entered is
incorrect, the error message partially obscures the passphrase-entry
field (see attached).
