Hello. Arch 64bit on an X1 Carbon (4th Gen).
Linux Kernel 4.10.10-1-ck-skylake; sddm 0.14.0-2, plymouth 0.9.2-12.
For a while now I've had a graphical decryption screen post-GRUB, followed by plymouth splash.
After a recent upgrade (kernel, probably) that behavior has changed: now, I get a black screen after GRUB, and must switch to TTY1 in order to type in my password to decrypt (I can see tty text). Interestingly, if I do not switch TTYs, I can still get the machine to boot, by blind-typing my decrypt password. I do see the plymouth splash (KDE breeze theme) when I do that.
mkinitcpio.conf hooks:
HOOKS="base udev plymouth plymouth-encrypt autodetect modconf block lvm2 filesystems keyboard fsck"
GRUB config:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash elevator=bfq udev.log-priority=3"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="cryptdevice=/dev/sda2:luks:allow-discards"
The only change I've noticed is that I get this seemingly unrelated error message post-decrypt:
acer_wmi: Unsupported machine has AMW0_GUID1, unable to load
What am I missing?
Thanks!
EDIT: Actually, reinstalling plymouth and breeze-plymouth resolved this issue. I think maybe I just had to rebuild the theme with:
plymouth-set-default-theme -R [theme]
