Comment 9 for bug 717516

Hi,
I can confirm this issue mostly. Using standard theme plymouth-theme-ubuntu-logo_0.8.2-2ubuntu17 input field for password is given, but no messages are displayed (neither something like please enter password nor any message when using function "plymouth message". Downgrading to libcairo2_1.10.0-1ubuntu3 (from marveric) and rebuilding initramfs solves this issue. Maybe the problem is located in some functions, which were not needed earlier and therefore must be added to the initramfs hooks (/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks)? This problem might not be general, I'm not shure if Luke has an similar bootprocess, I use an script in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-bottom/ for the password request. This script is called before the root partition is mounted.
