No External Display on Boot with Disk Encryption #55

Open dslauter opened 4 months ago

dslauter commented 4 months ago

In Linux Mint 21, if I had encryption enabled I would see the screen to enter my encryption passphrase on my external monitor. This was helpful as I always have my laptop closed and use an external monitor. In Linux Mint 22, the prompt is not shown on an external monitor. I assume this is likely due to changes in encryption, but I could be wrong.

This is a fresh Linux Mint 22 Beta installation with disk encryption selected during the install process (not home folder encryption)

I think I run into the same issue randomly in my Mint 22 install.

Difference only being that I have a desktop instead of a laptop, but today I tried something. I waited few seconds after boot and then typed my password even though the screen was off. It then allowed me to enter and started sending the signal.

This sounds like an upstream issue in plymouth. Can you reproduce this with Ubuntu 24.04?
