Bug Description
Hi,
I installed the new Ubuntu 12.10 Version on my computer and stumbled over an annoying bug.
On the installation process I checked the box to crypt my whole hard disk. After this step I had to type in a password for the hard disk encryption. So I did. After this the installation went through fine BUT after the reboot I entered my hard disk encryption password and it always said the password is wrong. I had no clue what this error caused but now I think it failed because of the keyboard layout.
I have choosen the German keyboard layout but the installation hard disk encryption step is BEFORE the user has to select a keyboard layout. Therefore the keys I have pressed weren't the keys I entered in the system. Besides of that there is no way in the installation process to display the hd encryption password in cleartext.
I suggest to move the keyboard selection step before the user can configure the hard disk encryption.
Thank you!
