Removing "quiet" boot option disables typing in LUKS passphrase box (Fedora 43)

Ask Fedora

Hello,

basically what the topic says. Fresh install of Fedora 43, ThinkPad P16s Gen 4, after dnf upgrade. Upon removing “quiet” option from the GRUB configuration, once the passphrase to decrypt the disk (prompt “Please enter passphrase for disk X (luks-Y)”) is requested, no keystrokes are detected (the text box remains empty), so I am forced to hard reboot the laptop. The prompt screen looks the same with or without the option.

Should I file this as a bug in Bugzilla? If so, what component to choose? Thanks.

Regards,

Lubos

I have removed quiet and always see a working luks prompt on my systems.

Maybe this is specific to your hardware and removing quiet?
What is the output of inxi -Fzxx?
