Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: plymouth
On the MSI Wind U100 netbook, plymouth_0.8.0~-12 and plymouth_0.8.0~-10
both miss some keypresses during LUKS passphrase entry. I'm not going to
publish the passphrase as it is a high-security machine. The versions
of Plymouth that did not give message or passphrase prompt output from
the initramfs did not have this problem on any of my machines. Maybe
asking Plymouth to do more is slowing it down on slower machines?
There is no problem whatsoever with my desktop machine (AMD Phenom II
X4), only the Intel Atom, a slower processor. The problem is not the
same from boot to boot, and if a particular attempt to boot gives a lot
of trouble, power cycling for another try is the easiest way to boot.
Some attempts take every press-and a few even miss the first keypress.
Passphrase is a long high-security passphrase exceeding the passphrase
box in length, so the last characters can't be verified.
** Affects: plymouth (Ubuntu)
