Description Christoph Obexer 2012-05-23 05:56:20 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:12.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/12.0

the prompt during boot to encrypt the LVM volume looks completely broken(only blocks no characters)

not sure if it makes a difference: the whole system is encrypted, only /boot is not.

after pressing ESC to get a textual prompt i found the following warnings:

Pango-WARNING: /usr/lib64/pango/1.6.0/modules/pango-basic-fc.so: not found...
failed to choose a font, expect ugly output. engine-type=PangoRenderFc script=latin
failed to choose a font, expect ugly output. engine-type=PangoRenderFc script=common


the .so does exist on my running system

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot with plymouh and encrypted partitions
2. 
3.
Actual Results:  
broken pass-phrase prompt

Expected Results:  
pass-phrase prompt ideally in my system locale (i changed the system locale to LANG=de_AT.UTF-8 using the yast language module, in the dropdown that asks what to apply to root i choose Yes (everything) instead of the default)

This bug was resolved with the current package in Factory. It was accepted to Factory on the 22nd, but it could be that it wasn't published due to OBS issues. 

Please check if there are any updates available for Plymouth and install them. This should resolve the issue.

yes there were new updates, and they fixed this issue, thanks for the awesome plymouth work ;)
