2011-03-11 13:44:52 Matthias Andree attachment added Make plymouth initramfs hook compatible with dropbear hook https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/733268/+attachment/1901175/+files/fix-plymouth-initramfs-hook.patch
2011-03-11 13:47:25 Matthias Andree description Binary package hint: plymouth Plymouth's initramfs-hook creates a /etc/passwd line for root, in order to remedy LP #649917 - however, it sets an invalid shell, namely /bin/bash. This makes it impossible to log into the initramfs's dropbear as root: dropbear refuses the login due to an invalid shell. This can cause users to get locked out of their machines if only installing plymouth and suffering from a power outage. In cryptroot setups where dropbear is installed, the dropbear hook has previously created an /etc/passwd line for root that sets the proper /bin/sh shell. Please fix plymouth to either set a valid shell, or not to stomp over existing ${DESTDIR}/etc/passwd configurations ASAP.
