The fact whether we're in the OS or not, whether it's a bootloader or a pre-init script or whatever is irrelevant from the end-user perspective. The end-user sees that the system will wait the password endlessly and I agree with Joseph that it's not good behaviour. >Do you have OLED monitor? Generic LCD/LED monitors does not suffer from this issue. I never shut down my monitor for years and it works fine. The monitor damage is not the issue here; it's just a possible side effect of the issue. As Chris mentioned earlier - consider a battery-powered system, which will just wait for the password until the battery discharges completely. This behaviour simply isn't sensible, in my opinion, and - forgive the phrase - smells of "works for us, so why bother?" thinking. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
