Cannot get themed password prompt to show

[rhysperry111]

Hi,

I just installed the colorful-loop theme from the aur. It works perfectly on shutdown but on login (with luks encryption) I get the default prompt providid with plymouth.

Would you know what I am doing wrong?

My plymouthd.conf:

[Daemon]
Theme=colorful_loop
ShowDelay=0
DeviceTimeout=5

mkinitcpio hooks:

HOOKS=(base systemd sd-plymouth autodetect keyboard sd-vconsole modconf block sd-encrypt filesystems)

[rhysperry111]

Ok; my issue has changed. I had originally forgotten to rebuild my EFISTUB.

Now, on boot I get the colorful_loop theme but no password prompt at all. I managed to work around this by turning silent boot off, but that then stops Plymouth from showing at all

I don't know that the aur version is updated or not, I've not created these packages.

I recommend you to use the one on my github.

[rhysperry111]

@adi1090x The AUR version produces the same as your github.

After a bit more experimenting I have found that:

• If I boot while plymouth is visible it will hang
• If I boot with plymouth hidden (pressing esc) then it does not hang

There is still no password prompt on the theme
Would you like a video of the issue?

[rhysperry111]

Ok, sorry for spamming this bugtracker as this issue is now also happening with the default theme. I will go and ask the question upstream

[rhysperry111]

Ok, I have fixed the issue of it hanging as that was a problem with my configuration.

I am reopening because I still cannot get the password prompt to show. It let's me type a password, but it feels weird as there is no prompt/visual feedback

@rhysperry111 having the exact same issue on Void linux. I can type the password without problems, but no prompt is shown. I have tryed the default themes that come with plymouth and those work normally, so it seems to be a theme problem. Did you make any progress on this?

BTW: @adi1090x I'm using the version directly downloaded from your github, since there is no package for Void (yet). So it seems to not be only AUR-specific

[rhysperry111]

No i have not, will post if i figure it out.

@rhysperry111 I just tried a different theme to make sure the problem is this theme and it works and shows the prompt correctly.
Could you do me a favor and tell me if this theme: https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1390331/ works for you too and shows the password prompt?

@adi1090x Any help on this?

[adi1090x]

You guy's aren't getting this?

[pinpox]

Nope. But now that I see your screenshot, could it be that the prompt is cut off if the resolution is lower than 1080?

[pinpox]

For me it looks like this right now:

But I can type anyway, it's just not showing the prompt

FYI my resolution is the standard 1920x1080
