xubuntu 12.10
On a fresh install using LVM + encyption there is a installation bug
with the keyboard layout. Using an encryption passphrase of say:
asdfgh
will work fine and upon reboot, and the system takes you to the login
screen. But if you use an encryption password of
asdfgh"
It will fail. I believe this is because the keymap is not getting loaded
before the encrypt hook? And it is defaulting to US English (rather than
the UK Engligh I specified on installation).
I tested by reinstalling and using:
asdfgh"
as the passphrase, and upon reboot, it is not accepted, but entering
asdfgh@
Is accepted as the passphrase, this is due to the difference in layout
from US to UK keyboards.
shift + 2 = @, on a US layout
shift + ' = @, on a UK layout
Hope I have explained this well ...
