I guess I'm confused about why US keymapping is needed to enter the LUKS passphrase during boot. The keymappings need to be the same for luksFormat (used by the installer) and luksOpen (used by plymouth during startup). I'm used to see a hint what that keymapping is supposed to be, but I haven't done a non-US English installation recently enough to remember the details :\ But what I can say is neither LUKS1 or 2 have a specific way to indicate the keymapping. Hence dmcrypt/crypsetup folks recommend modhex or base16 or even just the lowercase printable ASCII plus numerals (no special characters). That way you don't end up getting stuck with a passphrase using characters that a keyboard doesn't support. Or alternatively you use UTF8 based passphrase with Finnish keyboard in one keyslot and add another password in a second keyslot that follows the recommendation, e.g. modhex based passphrase. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
