i don't know what i have screwed up
i have an encrypted root fs
while the system is still running the initial ramdisk it launches a cryptsetup gui
it ask for the password and then presents 3 square dots
this obscures the rest of the boot process
can someone tell me how to disable this
i don't know if this is part of dm-crypt or not

That doesn't sound to me like anything that's part of cryptsetup, LUKS
or dm-crypt.

It's more likely to be a distribution front-end to the tools that
unlock the LUKS container.

I'd recommend that you look to see if this is a known issue with your
distribution and distribution version; if not, consider filing a bug
report with the distribution vendor.


I second that. Cryptsetup has no gui and it does not do encrypted
root. You can do encrypted root with cryptsetup in an initrd
and your distro seems to do that.

If you want to change this process, you likely have to modify
the initrd created or delivered by your distro. The cryptsetup
FAQ has some help there in Section 9, but do not expect a detailed
guide:
