[Bug 497115] Re: plymouth ask-for-password doesn't register all of my keypresses when typing passphrase
This problem is not solved already. It happens since yesterday. I reopen the bug. Running lucid beta1 with latest updates amd64. plymouth 0.8.1-1ubuntu1 acer aspire 5740G fglrx I had no problems with the plymouth text splash. Now I have the graphical splash and it behaves like Steve described. It seems to randomly don't recognise keyhits when I type my LUKS pathphrase. It seems that more Uppercase letters and numbers are affected, than lowercase letters. But I'm not shure, could be randomly also. ** Changed in: plymouth (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released => Confirmed -- plymouth ask-for-password doesn't register all of my keypresses when typing passphrase https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/497115 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

Isn't bug #537793 a duplicate of the present one ? They really look the same. Either way, I suffer from both (and none is solved) Plymouth 0.8.1-1ubuntu3 ;-) Plymouth definitely misses keypresses here when running from initramfs to unlock an encrypted root fs. I've seen the bug with all Plymouth versions since Lucid Beta so far. I would describe it this way : On Plymouth passphrase dialog, I have to type SLOWLY and keep keys pressed firmly and long enough and check that a "bullet" is displayed for every key I press. If I type "normally fast", Plymouth misses 10-20% of the keys pressed. Of course my machine's keyboard works perfectly once machine is booted... ** Changed in: plymouth (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released => Confirmed -- plymouth ask-for-password doesn't register all of my keypresses when typing passphrase https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/497115 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

[Bug 497115] Re: plymouth ask-for-password doesn't register all of my keypresses when typing passphrase
My last comment get involuntarily saved too soon-here is is in full. This bug is back with newer versions of Plymouth(0.8.0~-10, 0.8.0~-12) on the MSI Wind U100 netbook, but NOT on my AMD Phenom II x4 desktop. I saw it for the first time with the same updates that fixed the "no message or cryptsetup prompts" bugs, having never had this problem before. I've simply lived with this, and suspect it is related to processor speed and capability.The Intel Atom is relatively slow, and the the Phenom II very fast. Strangely, the problem on the netbook varies from boot to boot, sometimes taking every keypress, sometimes so bad only power cycling (for another try giving different results) will allow booting with a long, high-security passphrase. -- plymouth ask-for-password doesn't register all of my keypresses when typing passphrase https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/497115 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

[Bug 497115] Re: plymouth ask-for-password doesn't register all of my keypresses when typing passphrase
It's not consistent across attempts. On a crypted disk set up for testing with a passphrase of 'meep', on one occasion I had to type 'mmeeepp' to get the passphrase fully entered. On another occasion, 'meeep' was sufficient. The backspace key is also affected. On another disk with a more secure passphrase, a wider range of lower case letters and the spacebar showed the problem. I don't recall if the problem manifested for upper case letters, punctuation, or numbers. ** Changed in: plymouth (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New -- plymouth ask-for-password doesn't register all of my keypresses when typing passphrase https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/497115 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

After a few more reboots, my impression is that this is a timing thing: if I type more slowly, plymouth's success rate increases. It looks like maybe plymouth ignores any keypresses that happen while it's still processing the preceding one? -- plymouth ask-for-password doesn't register all of my keypresses when typing passphrase https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/497115 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

[Bug 497115] Re: plymouth ask-for-password doesn't register all of my keypresses when typing passphrase
I had to remove printf '\033[?25l' > /dev/tty7" from /usr/share/initramfs/scripts/init-top/plymouth as part of my edits to that script to get plymouth to work. It worked everywhere BUT in the initramfs, leaving that script as the culprit. This presumably forces Plymouth to stay on vt1, I have no problem with passphrase keypresses being missed, though I get no feedback in the box(another bug). If you have only one encrypted device, this might be an acceptable workaround. -- plymouth ask-for-password doesn't register all of my keypresses when typing passphrase https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/497115 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
[Bug 497115] Re: plymouth ask-for-password doesn't register all of my keypresses when typing passphrase
I'm afraid this problem is still reproducible for me. My setup matches Luke's, in that plymouth starts (and prompts for a passphrase) in the initramfs. I haven't tried the proposed change to drop the printf line from the initramfs script. ** Changed in: plymouth (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released => Confirmed -- plymouth ask-for-password doesn't register all of my keypresses when typing passphrase https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/497115 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
