Bug Description

Binary package hint: plymouth

If you using cryptsetup and decrypt root or similar on startup you are asked for a password. This looks very nice and professional with Plymouth but as soon as you enter the wrong password the error message is printed upon the password field.
It is still no problem to enter the password but it just doesn't look so good.

The message should appear at the same place where the original message appears to enter the password to decrypt root or similar.

This bug was fixed in the package plymouth - 0.8.1-1ubuntu1

---------------
plymouth (0.8.1-1ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low

  * ubuntu-logo theme:
    - move the entry box below the passphrase prompt where it belongs.
      LP: #540685, #540806
    - add some code to notice if our text boxes are going to run off the
      bottom of the screen, and move them up in that case.
  * debian/initramfs-tools/hooks/plymouth: fix to work with the new
    update-alternatives theme handling. LP: #549247
  * include the vga16fb renderer in the initramfs.
