> 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 message in cryptsetup to only display the target name, not the source device. This might be ok; both are unique, so showing just the target name should be enough to let the user tell their devices apart. - use a different source name in /etc/crypttab, instead of the UUID. This would require an installer change. It also should really be something stable and unique - it's ok to *display* a misleading name (like "/dev/sda2") when your devices have gotten mixed up, but the real problem is that if the device name isn't stable, cryptsetup won't be able to *access* the device. For my part, on a system installed before ubiquity supported LUKS, I just have /etc/crypttab configured to use /dev/sda2 as the source device instead of referencing it by UUID... with only one internal disk, this name is plenty stable in my case. But we couldn't do that for the general case. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1205054 Title: Unpolished prompt for encrypted-disk passphrase To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/1205054/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
