Package: plymouth
Version: 0.8.3-9.1
Severity: important

Hello there,

For some reason my root filesystem (ext3 on encrypted lvm) had some errors and
fsck could not fix them automatically. Then a maintenance shell should be
started to solve the problem manually.

First plymouth problem (maybe a "feature" or not implemented yet):
The plymouth theme runs (and runs and runs ...) and gives no hint that
something is wrong. Only after pressing ESC you realize that there is a
problem.



Second problem (really annoying and important):
I see the following lines (probably from init):
Give root password for maintenance
(or type Control-D to continue)

When I want to enter my password after every single key the input is aborted
(nothing displayed) and a new line shows up:

Give root password for maintenance
(or type Control-D to continue)

The only way I found to work around is:
Restart and remove the kernel boot option "splash" in grub.
Then I'm able to enter my password.
