Please consider adding add_full_dir "/usr/share/X11/xkb" in plymouth.initcpio_install, this is required for plymouth when XKBLAYOUT is set in /etc/vconsole.conf and you are using a systemd based initramfs.

Also, according to its meson.build, libxkbcommon is required by it. Althouth gtk3 also depends on libxkbcommon, gtk3 is a optional depends for plymouth so libxkbcommon may need to be set explicitly in plymouth's depends.

Edit: Maybe

  (
    [[ -s /etc/vconsole.conf ]] && . /etc/vconsole.conf
    [[ -n $XKBLAYOUT ]] && add_full_dir '/usr/share/X11/xkb'
  )

is more suitable, it only adds xkb folder when XKBLAYOUT is set in /etc/vconsole.conf

Running that command from the terminal results expectably in the same error.

@pavelgs, no, it's not a typo, ash is the shell from busybox, which is used in initramfs. Check out the rest of /usr/lib/initcpio/hooks/* files.

pavelskipenes commented on 2023-04-10 12:13 (UTC)

at root/plymouth.initcpio_hook:1 the line says #!/usr/bin/ash. Should it rather be #!/usr/bin/bash instead? ash is a shell in muslc distributions of Linux like Alpine Linux. For me it seems like a typo.

I'm facing encryption prompt issue with 22.02.122.r170.ge8e19371-2, plymouth starts fine, but not prompting to input LUKS password, and soon after I'm dropped into emergency shell. Had to rollback to 22.02.122.r170.ge8e19371-1, now it's fine.

@qtmax: Thank you for investigating. I'm travelling over the holidays and do not have my Computer with me, but will look into this next week.

qtmax commented on 2023-04-06 12:53 (UTC)

@Taijian, hmmm, now I'm really confused.

Before filing the bug for the community package, I decided to test it. Surprisingly, everything worked without /dev/pts. I installed the AUR package again, removing the line that you added yesterday, i.e. also without /dev/pts... and it worked =/

I don't know why it didn't work yesterday without /dev/pts, but it was a stable bug. Today I rebooted a dozen times, and it worked every time without /dev/pts. I'm pretty sure I generated initramfs and installed it to the EFI partition every time I changed anything (as I mentioned yesterday, I even compared the contents by extracting it). I thought it could be a race condition, e.g., if /dev/pts is created at runtime before plymouth starts, it works, and if /dev/pts is late, it doesn't work, but if it was a race condition, it wouldn't be that stable (all runs yesterday failed, all runs today succeeded).

So, as I couldn't reproduce it anymore, I didn't file a bug. Not sure how to proceed here: should we remove /dev/pts again or should we keep it. It's probably worth checking with plymouth sources whether it actually uses it, and if so, and if systemd-udevd (or whatever) creates it at runtime, maybe it's better to add a dependency in the systemd unit instead of creating the directory in the initramfs (so that the directory will go to devtmpfs mounted at /dev, not under it).

BTW, the community package shows the Arch logo with the bgrt theme, while the AUR package doesn't - it's probably because it's located at /usr/share/plymouth-git/themes/spinner/watermark.png, while the rest of the files are at /usr/share/plymouth/themes/spinner/watermark.png.

Taijian commented on 2023-04-05 13:25 (UTC)

@qtmax: OK, I've added it back. Could you raise an issue about this on the bug tracker for the community package?

qtmax commented on 2023-04-05 12:10 (UTC)

@Taijian, this bug has nothing to do with my use case. Moreover, I don't even have /etc/vconsole.conf, I don't use it.

Disk encryption seems to work for me as is

Disk encryption itself still works, I never said it stopped working.

What happened after the upgrade is that Plymouth no longer shows the graphical password prompt. Instead, I get the password prompt in the terminal.

I compared the old and the new initramfs contents and pinpointed it to /dev/pts being missing from the new one. Adding it back fixes the bug. The fix is as simple as adding this line back - could you apply it?
