Public bug reported: When the selected keymap is fr-bepo_afnor (XKBLAYOUT="fr" XKBVARIANT="bepo_afnor", selectable in settings or in the installer), the password prompt to unlock the partitions on boot will be in QWERTY, which you might only guess after a lot of trial and error.
I don't know how keymaps work in Ubuntu, but this might be because of this bug in ckbcomp, that generates invalid linux keymaps, which makes them fail to load: https://bugs.debian.org/984427 The debian bug (which I reported) has an attached patch for ckbcomp to make it generate a valid keymap instead. ** Affects: console-setup (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1919356 Title: Unable to type partition unlock password with standardized french bépo layout To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/+bug/1919356/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
