[SOLVED] Plymouth weird message after update

Hello

I just updated my system and now Plymouth displays a weird message on my LUKS input screen

as you see, next to the keyboard icon

Mod edit: Replaced oversized image with url -- V1del

Re: [SOLVED] Plymouth weird message after update

I've encountered odd characters there when locale settings, fonts, or theme assets didn't match after an upgrade.

A few details that may help narrow it down:

Which Plymouth theme are you using?
Are you on systemd-boot or GRUB?
Did any locale or keyboard-layout packages get updated at the same time?
Does the issue persist after rebuilding the initramfs (mkinitcpio -P)?

Re: [SOLVED] Plymouth weird message after update

If the unlock screen still accepts your passphrase correctly, I'd suspect a display/theme regression rather than an encryption-related problem.

I suspect it's trying to tell you something about the keyboard, but the text clips - and might be false.

i'm using a theme called "arch-os", the package that provides it is `plymouth-theme-arch-os`
I tried using mkinitcpio -P but didn't fixed unfortunately

Re: [SOLVED] Plymouth weird message after update

Re: [SOLVED] Plymouth weird message after update

The issue stems from Plymouth updating assets for generating keyboard layouts and the theme is lagging behind. You can fix by copying everything from Plymouth "spinner" theme folder to "arch-os" theme folder (apart from watermark.svg and spinner.plymouth).
