http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1046967 Bug ID: 1046967 Summary: Installer uses wrong locale for encryption password Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: x86-64 OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation Assignee: yast2-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: theghost@mailbox.org QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- Hi, today I tried a fresh installation of tumbleweed. I used to use the recommended partition layout for with encrypted lvm. There I hit an error, when using a non us locale. This error is seems hard as other installers are hit by it too (e.g. Calamares). Maybe you can forge a good test-case for openqa of it after fixing it. Steps to reproduce: 1. Boot into live installer 2. Select a non-us-locale and language (in my case "de_de"). 3. Select recommended partition layout for encryption 4. Type in your encryption password and use special characters (which are mapped to other keys on the us keyboard, like "ö,:!..." 5. Finish installation and try to enter your new password. Actual result: You retype your password of step 4 and you got an error about incorrect passphrase. Expected result: You retype your password of step 4 and your password is accepted. The installer has to take care that the encryption password respects the locale which is used by default after installation (most probably us locale). Or the installer has to set another non-us locale as default at install for cryptsetup. If you need a way to look how other installer are doing it right, look at Anaconda. Last time I checked I worked flawlessly. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
