Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: plymouth
On a freshly installed Ubuntu using LUKS encryption, cryptsetup/plymouth
appears to attempt graphical boot, fails due to lack of KMS and requires
me to type in my passphrase blindly, without any indication that I am
required to do so. The OS's behavior is indistinguishable from a crash
during booting (no output, no input feedback except for HDD activity).
As soon as I install the nvidia driver (didn't try with noveau),
plymouth uses text mode and renders a passphrase prompt, feedback etc.
On my old upgraded system (bug caused me to reinstall), which used
uvesafb/v86d+nvidia driver to boot graphically, the issue was present
during all boots.
plymouth/cryptsetup should fall back to text rendering (or anything that
notifies me that I should input my passphrase) in these cases without
system modifications that would require a successful boot.
