[Pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#397981: cryptsetup: initramfs script incompatible with usplash

[James Westby]

Hi David,

Usplash in unstable now includes your patches to add INPUTQUIET. I have
it running locally using a keyscript, and it works nicely. It would be
great if you could enable the integration in the package now.

I am attaching my keyscript as it may be of interest to someone. Just
save it to /usr/local/bin/ and make it owned by root and chmod u+x. Then
edit /etc/crypttab to add keyscript=/usr/local/bin/usplash_pass.sh. My
line looks like

  hda5_crypt /dev/hda5 none luks,keyscript=/usr/local/bin/usplash_pass.sh

Then take the second script and save it to /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks/.
It copies /bin/echo into the initramfs as echo -n is needed, and the
builtin isn't guaranteed to use it.

I would be happy to test any packages that you create if you would like.

Thanks for all your work,

James
