On our servers running Rocky Linux 8.7, we like to monitor their health when they boot, so we remove the “rhgb” parameter from the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX line of the /etc/default/grub file on them. However, we’ve recently started rolling out LUKS, and while the passphrase prompt is usable without the graphical boot, it’s much more prominent in graphical mode. I was wondering if there is a way to have just the LUKS passphrase prompt displayed in graphical mode, while leaving the rest of the boot messages visible? Thanks in advance to all who respond.
Short: No
The graphical mode is provided by plymouth (activated with rhgb). So, if its disabled then it stays disabled …
Ritov,
Thanks. I suspected it wasn’t possible, but I wanted to make sure. Maybe in the future, plymouth will be able to tell the difference between a prompt that requires user input and an informational message, and allow them to be handled differently, but for now we will work with what we have.
