To be fair, the bug was originally about the password prompt not being displayed, with the secondary issue about the artwork.
I enabled Plymouth debugging to try to capture relevant logs, but any time plymouth debugging was enabled, this issue did not present itself. Disabling plymouth debugging returned to the same issue. Maybe it's timing related?

Following post and hidden grub, blank screen until you press Escape. I also tried this with grub not hidden and with a timeout of 5, and with plymouth not debugging, there is still no visible password prompt. Without plymouth debugging, is there another log that will suffice? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1917062 Title: Decryption passphrase prompt not displayed until escape is pressed (Xubuntu hirsute test case) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/1917062/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
