Screenshot depicting distorted systemd-ask-password prompt
This is not really a bug that affects any crucial functionality but more of a
visual thing.
I'm running Arch Linux with systemd 208 in the initrd with my root device
encrypted using dm-crypt, without plymouth. At some point systemd asks for the
password to unlock the root device on the console. After 1 or 2 seconds this
prompt gets "newlined" and interrupted by several other systemd messages.
Typing in the password and pressing Return to confirm it works as expected,
however.
I attached a screenshot (sorry for the quality) to illustrate the problem.</pre>
