Boot screens are formatted improperly, crypt unlock prompt doesn't display on correct screen, login screen doesn't come up properly after boot

[Jonathan Kamens]

(I honestly don't know what the right package to file this against is so I'm starting with "linux" and hoping that people can help it get to the right place if that's not it.)

I have the proposed repository enabled and all current packages from proposed installed.

The screen I see during boot isn't formatted properly. See the first attached screenshot.

The prompt asking me to unlock my encrypted disk doesn't display on the boot screen. I have to hit ESC to see it, and when I do, it's not formatted properly on the screen I see (but entering the password on this screen does work). See the second screenshot.

After the boot is finished I see what's on the third attached screenshot. I don't see a login prompt unless I type Ctrl-Alt-F3 and then Ctrl-Alt-F1, at which point the login prompt appears and I can log in.

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for reporting! This is an issue where the necessary files for the new plymouth theme, plymouth-theme-spinner / bgrt, are not placed in initrd properly. We are tracking this in Bug 1864586.

I'm going to mark this a duplicate for now, but feel free to follow the other bug and help test a test package when one becomes available.

Thanks!
Matthew
