Cannot get themed password prompt to show #10

Closed rhysperry111 closed 4 years ago

rhysperry111 commented 4 years ago

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 commented 4 years ago

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

adi1090x commented 4 years ago

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 commented 4 years ago

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

After a bit more experimenting I have found that:

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

rhysperry111 commented 4 years ago

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 commented 4 years ago

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

pinpox commented 4 years ago

@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 commented 4 years ago

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

pinpox commented 4 years ago

@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?

pinpox commented 4 years ago

@adi1090x Any help on this?

You guy's aren't getting this?

pinpox commented 4 years ago

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 commented 4 years ago

For me it looks like this right now: image

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

rhysperry111 commented 4 years ago

FYI my resolution is the standard 1920x1080

pinpox commented 4 years ago

I'm running it in a VM, not sure how to set the resolution for the boot process. But is there a way to move the prompt up to test this?

pinpox commented 4 years ago

Maybe a missing font?

rhysperry111 commented 4 years ago

What font would I need to include? It is possible it has not automatically been put in the initramfs

pinpox commented 4 years ago

I'm using Roboto Mono for everything else in my system. Can I didn't change anything in the theme yet, wanted to get the prompt working at all first. The missing font was just a guess, can you tell me how to test this?

rhysperry111 commented 4 years ago

If the problem is because the font is not in the initramfs it should be able to be solved easily.

Here are the instructions for distros using mkinitcpio (Arch):

These instructions work on Arch, other distros may be different

pinpox commented 4 years ago

Will look into it tomorrow. I'm using dracut instead mkinitcpio, not sure yet how I have to include the font, but it seems to be doable.

pinpox commented 4 years ago

It might not be the font after all. I tried looking into the .script and .plymouth files, there is no font explicitely set there. For reference I'm trying with the deus_ex theme from pack number 2. I'm not sure where to go from here.

real-or-random commented 4 years ago

I have the same issue here on Arch Linux.

rhysperry111 commented 4 years ago

In order to debug this it would help to get some system info. For everyone that is experiencing this issue could you provide:

real-or-random commented 4 years ago

@rhysperry111 do you use the sd-encrypt hook? I do. Maybe this is the same issue as https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/breeze-plymouth/#comment-682741 (and also the follow-up comment by the same author two days later)

rhysperry111 commented 4 years ago

@real-or-random Here is a full list of my mkinitcpio hooks: systemd sd-plymouth autodetect keyboard block sd-encrypt fsck

adi1090x commented 4 years ago

Hmm, i see... Only people who use systemd and relative systemd hooks , facing this issue. Have you guys tried it without systemd, normal plymouth & plymouth-encrypt

real-or-random commented 4 years ago

That's indeed the issue. It works when I paste

  add_binary "/usr/lib/plymouth/label.so"
  add_binary "/usr/lib/plymouth/text.so"
  add_file "/usr/share/fonts/TTF/DejaVuSans.ttf"
  add_file "/etc/fonts/fonts.conf"
  add_file "/etc/fonts/conf.d/60-latin.conf"

from /usr/lib/initcpio/install/plymouth-encrypt to /usr/lib/initcpio/install/sd-plymouth. The issue is probably that the sd-plymouth hook is generic. It does not know about encryption, and it seems the idea here was to copy those plugins only for encryption (under the assumption that this is the only thing that needs text rendering).

Those files are owned by the plymouth package. Maintainer is @nullptrt. He's not very active on GitHub, let's see if he sees that mention. Otherwise I'll write him.

adi1090x commented 4 years ago

Also, why using systemd? Are you using a separate partition for /usr or just for hibernation/resume purpose?

real-or-random commented 4 years ago

Also, why using systemd?

I mean, why not? :P It does it's job and it's one of two possible supported options according to the Arch Wiki. I think I had some trouble with the normal hooks when I set up my system. But I can't really remember, this is a few years ago...

pinpox commented 4 years ago

I'm not using systemd, but still having the issue. Void linux comes with runit instead of systemd. How would I fix this anyway? Other themes (e.g. the ones included by default in void) work though, so I guess I'm not missing any hooks?

rhysperry111 commented 4 years ago

@pinpox Could you run lsinitcpio /path/to/your/initramfs.img and post the output (preferably in some sort of pastebin)

pinpox commented 4 years ago

@rhysperry111 I guess the command is called lsinitrd in Void since it uses dracut. Here is the output: https://gist.github.com/pinpox/2a859e716e6195fb48a85c45465b5e76

rhysperry111 commented 4 years ago

@pinpox It looks to be the same issue (shared objects, fonts and font configs are not in the initrd). I'm not sure how dracut works, but you'll need to add things from var/cache/fontconfig, usr/share/fonts and etc/fonts in the initrd.

You'll also need to add usr/lib/plymouth/label.so and usr/lib/plymouth/text.so

pinpox commented 4 years ago

FIXED, Thanks for the help! The fix on Void Linux was to add this line to /etc/dracut.conf.d/fonts.conf:

install_items+="/usr/lib/plymouth/label.so /usr/lib/plymouth/text.so /usr/share/fonts/TTF/DejaVuSans.ttf /etc/fonts/fonts.conf"

and then run sudo plymouth-set-default-theme -R deus_ex again to rebuild

rhysperry111 commented 4 years ago

I believe the font is set by /etc/fonts. I have no idea how it works, but I had to include etc/fonts/config.d/66-noto-sans.conf, etc/fonts/config.d/66-noto-serif.conf, etc/fonts/fonts.conf, usr/share/fonts/noto/NotoSans-Regular.ttf and usr/share/fonts/noto/NotoSerif-Regular.ttf in my initrd

rhysperry111 commented 4 years ago

I'll close this now as it appears to be an upstream bug. Feel free to reopen if anything discussed above did not fix your issue

Upstream bug report: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/plymouth/plymouth/-/issues/116

Davincible commented 3 years ago

Im having the same issue, but with systemd-boot. It works with normal plymouth-encrypt hook, but not the sd-encrypt hook. However, when trying a different theme it does work, suggesting that the issue is in this theme specifically.

samyak-jain commented 2 years ago

I'm having the same issue. All the default themes bundled with plymouth show the password prompt. However, none of the themes that I've tested from this repo seem to show it.

lox-enterprises commented 2 years ago

For those of you who've installed Plymouth through the AUR and use systemd-encrypt (so sd-plymouth & sd-encrypt hooks), if you take a look at /usr/lib/initcpio/install/sd-plymouth:

if [ -f "/usr/share/fonts/TTF/DejaVuSans.ttf" -o -f "/usr/share/fonts/cantarell/Cantarell-Thin.otf" ]; then
        add_binary ${PLYMOUTH_PLUGIN_PATH}/label.so
        add_file "/etc/fonts/fonts.conf"
fi

if [ -f "/usr/share/fonts/TTF/DejaVuSans.ttf" ]; then
        add_file "/usr/share/fonts/TTF/DejaVuSans.ttf"
        if [ -f "/etc/fonts/conf.d/57-dejavu-sans.conf" ]; then
          add_file "/etc/fonts/conf.d/57-dejavu-sans.conf"
        fi
fi

if [ -f "/usr/share/fonts/cantarell/Cantarell-Thin.otf" ]; then
        add_file "/usr/share/fonts/cantarell/Cantarell-Thin.otf"
        add_file "/usr/share/fonts/cantarell/Cantarell-Regular.otf"
        if [ -f "/etc/fonts/conf.d/60-latin.conf" ]; then
          add_file "/etc/fonts/conf.d/60-latin.conf"
        fi
fi

It's specifically looking for either the DejaVu or Cantarell font. If you don't have those installed, it will not display the 'Enter Password' text.

You can either edit this file and point to the font you do have and hope it works like that, or you can add the DejaVu font:

sudo pacman -S ttf-dejavu

and then rebuild:

sudo su
mkinitcpio -P
samyak-jain commented 2 years ago

I am not using systemd-encrypt and the changes suggested by @1202software worked for me. This looks like an issue that should affect anyone not having these fonts installed. Is there a better way to change fonts rather than changing this script? I'm guessing this script would be overwrriten in an update?
