Details:
I have a non USA keyboard. If in my Linux distro I set full disk encryption
using special characters the password won't work on next boot basically
because GRUB will have a different keyboard layout than when I set the
encryption password, effectively locking any non USA user out of their
systems.
Also I tried making a custom keyboard layout for GRUB, and the system was no
longer able to boot. I see there's a bug report about it on this bug tracker.
Instructions for that are:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/751259/how-to-change-grub-command-line-grub-shell-keyboard-layout
Ideally the command "update-grub" shall get the keyboard layout from the
system and automatically apply it to GRUB. Alternatively there should be a
command to set the layout.
