After hours of troubleshooting, it turns out the LUKS unlock prompt during boot is there, I just can’t see it! If I enter the password blindly the boot process continues. Is there a fix for this?
Here is the exact way I have installed things with a fresh Silverblue Cosmic install with full disk encryption - the invisible unlock prompt happens after installing the Nvidia stuff:
sudo rpm-ostree upgrade
systemctl reboot
sudo rpm-ostree install \
https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm \
https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
systemctl reboot
sudo rpm-ostree update \
--uninstall rpmfusion-free-release \
--uninstall rpmfusion-nonfree-release \
--install rpmfusion-free-release \
--install rpmfusion-nonfree-release
systemctl reboot
sudo rpm-ostree install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia
sudo rpm-ostree kargs --append=rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau,nova-core \
--append=modprobe.blacklist=nouveau,nova-core \
--append=nvidia-drm.modeset=1 \
--append=initcall_blacklist=simpledrm_platform_driver_init
systemctl reboot
Edit: After a chat with ChatGPT I removed initcall_blacklist=simpledrm_platform_driver_init and lo and behold the prompt is back! Not sure why the documentation says to add this…
