Would it be possible to add a display label field in /etc/crypttab and
then use it when prompting? Enter passphrase for the root filesystem
would be more user-friendly compared to /dev/sda2 or UUIDs.

I don't think xubuntu-logo theme is much different from ubuntu-logo
theme, maybe it's just the case of low resolution? the screenshots
provided are only 640x480 and thus there really isn't much room for all
of these messages.

Title:
The prompt does look better in the Ubuntu theme, at least as far as
error messages are concerned. Still need a better way of displaying the
long disk UUID.

Still need a better way of displaying the long disk UUID.
Ok. So there is a longstanding request for word-wrapping in these
messages, but that requires per-theme changes and is not straightforward
to implement; I don't expect this to be resolved any time soon.
The other options are:
- change
Would it be possible to reformat the prompt for a better fit? E.g. use
UUID= instead of /dev/disk/by-uuid/, and maybe break it out across
multiple lines, like
Unlocking disk
Device: UUID=12345678-1234-1234-1234-12345678abcd
Target: sda2_crypt
Enter passphrase: []
I have not seen this problem locally. Can you confirm that you see this
behavior if you switch to the Ubuntu plymouth theme? This may be a bug
specific to the xubuntu theme.

Unfortunately, things get worse from there. If the passphrase entered is
incorrect, the error message partially obscures the passphrase-entry
field (see attached).

Even when the disk is successfully unlocked, the previous error message
still remains.

I also set /home to be encrypted---not at all an unusual setup---and the
system doesn't appear to be aware that it needs to be unlocked first,
resulting in more verbiage being dumped to the splash screen.
