Now that Jessie is released, I ping you again regarding this issue. I'd love to soften the disk unlocking prompt displayed by cryptsetup during boot process. So did you (or the debian-desktop team) come up with an alternative suggestion for the prompt yet? At the moment, the prompt is as follows: > cryptkey="Please unlock disk $diskname: " where $diskname is: > if [ ${cryptsource#/dev/disk/by-uuid/} != $cryptsource ]; then > # UUIDs are not very helpful > diskname="$crypttarget" > else > diskname="$cryptsource ($crypttarget)" > fi In other words, if $cryptsource starts with '/dev/disk/by-uuid/', then $diskname contains only $crypttarget, otherwise it contains both $cryptsource and $crypttarget. $cryptsource is the source device name (e.g. /dev/sda1 or /dev/debian-vg/root or /dev/disk/by-uuid/b2629cd2-3565-48f6-910e-3ef091268491) and $crypttarget is the target device name as specified in /etc/crypttab (usually something like sda1_crypt). Problem is, that both seem rather arbitrary to users who used the automatic partitioning by debian-installer. My suggestion is to drop $cryptsource completely and just display $crypttarget in the prompt. Probably then we could improve the naming of $crypttarget in partman(-crypto) code from debian-installer and use more descriptive names like "system-disk"? Any suggestions? Cheers jonas
