Bug Description
I installed Ubuntu 18.04 desktop edition on a Microsoft Surface Pro 4, using LVM and full disk encryption. When LUKS prompts for the password, however, the type cover keyboard does not work. I had to plug in a USB keyboard to type in the password and boot.
However, the solution is simple. Edit the /etc/initramfs-
The Ubuntu 18.04 desktop installer should be modified to detect if it is running on Surface Pro hardware, and add the module, above, as needed.
