Bug Description
When installing Ubuntu on a system needing proprietary drivers (typically with a nvidia graphics card), we're prompted for a password that will then need to be re-entered at reboot for custom key enrolment.
However, the installer will use whichever keyboard layout the user specified, whereas the MOK enrolment UI will assume a QWERTY layout, which can lead to a lot of frustration for unaware users.
The best way to solve this would be to make mokutil aware of the user's chosen keyboard layout, which I'm guessing isn't trivial.
However, a good first step would be to simply warn the user when they first specify the password if their layout isn't standard qwerty.
