cryptsetup always uses english keymap at boot time

[oli z]

Binary package hint: cryptsetup

I just installed Karmic with the following partition layout:

/boot ext4 ~200mb on /dev/sda
lvm as crypted_lvm on /dev/sda
the lvm includes / with ext4 and swap, both encrypted

i didnt change anything, just a fresh install... the same happened after a kernel update from 2.6.28 to anything above - it just stops booting and i cant do anything...

[oli z (oliver-z)]

with "it just stops booting" i mean of course the message from cryptsetup "bad password, options..."

[oli z (oliver-z)]

i just disable the quiet and splash screen and i get a error:
no keys available for this passphrase

[oli z (oliver-z)]

I found the Problem... during installation i choosed the german language...
As i restarted the keyboard layout has been changed (dont know why).
My password included a "z" - when i change the occurance of every "z" to "y" it boots

@oli: Thanks for the update. Marking this report as invalid then.

[oli z (oliver-z)]

Ok, but please fix this, because imo its a bug and this will propably affect everyone which uses another keyboard-layout then EN with LUKS

[Andreas Olsson (andol)]

Ok, seems like I misunderstood your last comment.

In other words, the reported bug is about the request for password, at startup, uses an english charset, no matter what you've chosen during the install?

[oli z (oliver-z)]

Yes, sorry for my bad english, thats what i tried to say :)

[Andreas Olsson (andol)]

Yes, I can confirm this problem. During the installation I choose Swedish language, used both during the installation and in the installed system. Yet during boot time I had to enter my cryptsetup password using some kind of English locale.

this is working now, please close as fixed
thx!!

I have the similar problem. Fresh installation from ubuntu-9.10-alternate-i386.iso - Karmic Koala release. I chose Russian language and now passphrase does not fit. I have tried that twice.

[tf8 (tifeit)]

HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK... I entered my password incorectly...

Marking as fixed as pointed out by comment 9 and comment 11.
