Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:

1. Boot the Ubuntu Cinnamon ISO on any UEFI-capable computer.
2. Install Ubuntu Cinnamon with LVM and encryption enabled.
3. Reboot and wait for the passphrase prompt to appear.

Expected result: The passphrase prompt should be in the lower area of the screen and should show the keyboard layout that was in use when using the installer.

Actual result: The passphrase prompt is in the upper area of the screen, potentially covering over parts of the UEFI firmware logo, and the keyboard layout displayed is incorrect (for instance if you used the US keyboard layout, it will show "no" instead).

This should be fixable with some Plymouth theme tweaks. The issue with the keyboard layout indicator can be fixed by copying over /usr/share/plymouth/themes/spinner/keymap-render.png into the Plymouth theme for Ubuntu Cinnamon. The positioning of the passphrase prompt is, I believe, configurable.
