The "Encrypt the new Ubuntu installation for security" will use the wrong keyboard if you 1) boot from ISO 2) wait (do not touch the small icon) 3) it autostarts the GUI installer (using En as Language and probably US as keyboard) 4) Enable "Encrypt the new Ubuntu installation for security" 5) next step is to provide the security key HERE is the bug: In the next steps the keyboard is autodetected and changed if you do not have a US keyboard Until this step I never saw what I typed => i'm not aware of the US keyboard setting
=> type rtz as key (since US keyboard this actually rty (if a qwertz keyboard is used) 6) press install now => "Where are you" => autodetected location => Zurich Press continue 7) now Switzerland Keyboard Layout is detected an set up from now on. => security key (with US keyboard) was typed as rtz but rty was used. But now since Swiss Keyboard is used => one would have to type rty instead of rtz. How would a normal user know? I think step 4 should be AFTER step 7. This way the correct keyboard would have been used. After Mr. Snowden showed up and there is an "NSA-awareness" more users will use this option: "Encrypt the new Ubuntu installation for security" But non US keyboard users will run into this bug, if they use Z, Y, umlauts or special chars...
