As ng0 mentioned, we’ll have to move away from SLiM (the login manager) to get proper i18n. As for GRUB, it’s really a bug on our side that we should fix. Please report it to bug-g...@gnu.org so we don’t lose track of it. > 3. When I enter one wrong password on the first disk-encryption-prompt > (before grub) I get thrown into a grub console.

Yeah, I agree that this API makes it too easy to shoot oneself in the foot. No idea about the touchpad. Thanks for your feedback! Ludo’.
