[opensuse-m17n] Installer: Annotate that the LUKS-encryption password for full disk encryption will be typed in English keyboard layout
Hello, I have a suggestion regarding the installer. I hope this is the right place: If you chose to encrypt your full disk (exept /boot) using LUKS and LVM, you set the password right in the installer, typing in the chosen keyboard layout. Yet when you then go on booting the fresh system, you type in English layout, which will cause passwords with certain special chars to be rejected if you do not know about this. That way, I myself got convinced that it would be a good idea if the installer gives an annotation on that behaviour. This really can save numerous reinstallations as that circumstance is not quite blatant.

It can be regarded as a bug, so it'd be better to be reported to Bugzilla. Or, if you'd like to lead to more general discussions, opensuse-factory ML would be more appropriate place, I think. thanks, Takashi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+owner@opensuse.org
