Bug Description
If you install ubuntu into an encrypted lvm, the installer does not take into account that your chosen keyboard layout is not available at boot-time.
As an example:
if you install ubuntu in german,
and choose a password containing german "Umlaute" (ä, ö, ü)
you will not be able to boot your fresh install, as you cannot give the correct password with the us-layout available at boot-time.
This bug affects ubuntu and any derivate of it, up to and including 13.10.
