Package: plymouth
Version: 0.9.5-3
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
I just had a user complaining they entered the crypt password wrongly and then
said "maximum tries exceeded" and then "notebook hanged up" (I suppose due to
capslock). I thought there is no maximumt tries and in plain text boot there
isn't, but with plymouth after 6 tries it indeed enters by itself initramfs,
stumping a non-tech user (I guess that was their "it hanged up")
I suggest to keep asking for the root crypt password like nosplash boot does.
(and have the option to drop to initramfs via some expert-keycombo, button or
whatever)
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Enter the root crypt password wrongly 6 times.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Drops to initramfs.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Keep asking for the crypt password. Drop to initramfs by some means only for
people knowing what they are doing (some keycombo)
PS: To add insult to injury, "reboot" doesn't work on initramfs, but "reboot
-f" does (nothing any enduser should be confronted with)
Kind regards, Axel
