You are right-that's a symptom of a separate bug, but can be mistaken for the password cursor. There is no cursor in the dialog box nor a prompt below it, so that fools the eye.
As for the no-prompt bug, I have found that the prompt works just fine if you test a splash in X, but won't display the text running from the initramfs to actually unlock a disk. You can test it, but you cannot actually use the prompt="string" option. It doesn't work in the framebuffer/forced vga graphics I am using for the splash. Does anyone know it it works through the dri graphics? -- plymouth ask-for-password doesn't display --prompt argument https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/496765 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
