** Description changed: + [Impact] + + * Users of mixed-resolution screens, particularily those with mixed 4K + and 1080p resolutions, are reporting issues with the Kubuntu plymouth + theme being off-center, and in some ways unusable as the password entry + box for encrypted disks appears off-screen on the primary built-in + display on some laptops. + + * This is a usability issue that did not appear on previous versions of + plymouth, but are easily fixed by an updated theme. As Ubuntu Studio and + Ubuntu Desktop were not impacted as they used child themes of plymouth- + theme-spinner, this seemed to be a clear solution as this theme uses the + computer's internal framebuffer to render the screen properly. + + [Test Plan] + + * Install Kubuntu to an LVM encrypted system. + * Connect system to monitors with multiple default resolutions + * EXPECTED: plymouth theme will show as centered on all monitors, including password entry box + * ACTUAL: plymouth theme will be in the lower-left of higher resolutions, and off-screen on lower resolutions. (see attached screenshots. + + [Where problems could occur] + + * This new plymouth theme is a fork of the already existing Ubuntu and + Ubuntu Studio themes and is highly tested, but it is possible it will + just not work on some screens. If this does happen, we will determine + additional course of action. + + [Other Info] + + * Original bug report follows: + + ---- + Summary: The Kubuntu Plymouth theme for startup and disk decryption is off-center on multi-monitor setups with varying resolutions. Steps to Reproduce: - Connect a 4k external display to a 1080p system. - Start Kubuntu 22.04 LTS Actual Results The Plymouth startup and disk encryption graphic are shifted down and to the right. This do NOT occur when using a single screen. Expected Results: The theme and disk encryption graphic should either be centered on all screens, or, as in Focal, should only be shown on the laptop screen. TODO - Test with more monitor resolutions See the attached images. Assessment: This is likely due to a non-responsive (old-style) Plymouth theme. We could likely create a responsive if it is acceptable.
