Description:
Since stock kernel 5.18.14 (still reproducible with 5.18.16) the prompt for entering a keyphrase at boot is not shown, but the boot continues when the right password is entered. All what I'm getting when the password is prompted is this: ``` Starting version 251.3-1-arch _ ``` The `_` above indicates the cursor, which does not blink, so there's no visual feedback and it seems the computer froze, but didn't. It is annoying, especially for inexperienced users and looks as the system is broken at this point. After entering a correct passphrase (also there is no feedback when entering an invalid one), the prompts shortly appears and the system boots normally. ``` Starting version 251.3-1-arch A password is required to access the system volume: Enter passphrase for /dev/sda3: No key available with this passphrase. Enter passphrase for /dev/sda3: Scanning for Btrfs filesystems ``` Additional info: * package version(s): 5.18.16, 5.18.14 * the problem disappears when downgrading 5.18.12 Attached two screenshots taken before and after a correct passphrase has been entered. |
This task depends upon

Even though the prompt does not show up, I can type my password and get to SDDM. When I do log in, I only see one display in LxQt.
