Encrypted disk password boot window is bigger #3

Open Qronikarz opened 5 days ago

Qronikarz commented 5 days ago

When using the installer with LVM to encrypt whole disk the window that appears during the boot is way larger than in previous Mint versions.

Also I think the Mint logo disappeared from there and for some reason one of the fans in the computer (either GPU or CPU) gets enabled when previously it didn't during that part. (the fan gets disabled after you enter the password so not a big deal, but kind of annoying)

Please provide a screenshot or photo of the screen.

May be hard to convey. But I made a photo. Sadly I don't have 21.3 installed so can't compare it side by side.

I looked at youtube install tutorials to see if the older versions had logo, but no they didn't. Still it is visibly bigger than before and pixelated. (USB for scale, 24 inch FHD monitor) IMG_20240630 And here just the text: IMG_202406302

Also, related question. What does ml stand for? In tutorials on YouTube it was just "us"

EDIT: I'll try to install 21.3 on empty SD card and see if I can observe the old behavior there.

It indicates your keyboard layout. I think ml is Malayalam.

Can you reproduce the issue with Ubuntu 24.04? I have a feeling this is upstream from us and to do with HiDPI changes in plymouth.

I can't currently download such large files. I'll get back to it tomorrow.

That's weird. Good thing I didn't use any Polish characters in the password. I have everything set up with Polish language so this feels like a bug.

What's in your /etc/default/keyboard?

Reporting the results. All installed from the same USB stick on the same SD card without internet connection.

This is the Mint 21.3 boot: IMG_20240701mint21

This is the Ubuntu 24 LTS boot: IMG_20240701ubuntu24lts

Both Ubuntu 24 and Mint 22 have this encrypted boot enlarged and on both of them the fan keeps spinning (Mint 21.3 doesn't enable the fan). So probably you were right about it being upstream.

As for the keyboard detection this issue was created: https://github.com/linuxmint/mint22-beta/issues/19 But as you can see on Ubuntu 24 LTS it's fixed and on Mint not.
