I've talk about this scenari to kernel developper at OSC 2009. In fact there's a point you don't understand about the critical thing. People like me are preparing sle or opensuse machine for other, we start the crypted install with a "bidon" english password. After that, we are restoring people/customer data from other system and finally we have to explain how to change the crypted key ... Sometime people doesn't want to have 2 differents key between their home and / ( or doesn't want a separate home ). When they change their keys in their localized Env they're no ways to get data anymore. That's critical ! So if a patch could be done later, it should be done now ( Be sure if I can do it I would already have done it ) Having the full encrypted / is a long awaiting features for opensuse, so I pretty sure most of people using netbook & laptop would activate this one. Everything could goes nicely during some weeks or month, but could be catastrophic if they change their pass-phrase to a non english one leading to many angry & furious users. If there a trick to by-pass this ( using other distribution, or the live-cd with localized env, We should advertize about this in wiki and readme notes ). In this case we can drive people to this resource. My best regards. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It just limiting the trouble until the people can go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout and find what they have recorded translated to a english keyboard. the non ascii é letter in just an extension. In my first comment I've say that people using non english keyboard would be trapped. Has we can't warn/forbid people to change their keys pass with other tool (native command line for example) : we are finally trapped. Sorry to be a bit rude. It take me time to resolve the #534856, #136028] before confirming and opening this one. As I've believed that if can't get my right keyboard on boot I couldn't type my key pass right. I'm sorry that we can't change before the 11.2 release. But what about making some words (with some technical reason and comment) on the wiki. And a how to by-pass the trap. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It's worth a feature request I think. I've also sent a patch for cryptsetup upstream to warn if non-ascii characters are entered as password.
