Public bug reported:
When installing Ubuntu via the installer, after selecting your keyboard
layout, it doesn't change until the install has completed. This is
problematic, as when inputting information into the installer, such as
PC hostname and username / password, the default (US) keyboard layout
will be used, as opposed to the one selected in the prior step. This can
cause confusion especially when inputting your password, as there is no
option to view the passwords. When you boot into the OS for the first
time, the keyboard layout updates, and now, if your password contains
symbols that don't match up with the ones on the US layout, your
password will be incorrect.
This was using the latest version of the Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS installer
