[Bug 850391] Re: Grub keyboard default to us after update

[Maraschin]

By the way, there was a problem in Alpha 2 installation which couldn't
set a combination of language/keyboard that wasn't expected. Like
English language (locale) with a Swedish or German keyboard. This was
resolved with Alpha 3 (alpha 1 was working as well). After I did a full
update (I did not reinstall the system), the problem got back.

I'm not sure if this will still be valid after I do login into the system, since I can't enter the encryption password.
I did boot with the alpha 3 DVD and could mount the encrypted disc but I've no idea where to try to look for a fix since /etc/default/keyboard is correctly set.

At boot time, I did edit grub configuration to add:

set lang=sv_SE

but I still get the american keyboard.

Title:
  Grub keyboard default to us after update

Status in “console-setup” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After update 11.10 on the 12/sept, the grub keyboard mapping was changed from Swedish to US.
  My biggest problem is that i've encrypted discs with charactes that do not exist in the american keyboard and i can not boot the system any more.
  Please, is there a work around to change grub keyboard maping/layout onthe fly?
  I do not want to change the language but the keyboard! And this was working 4 days ago...
