LUKS prompt defaults to US keymap despite installing with another keymap #1544

Open stalebrim opened 5 months ago

stalebrim commented 5 months ago

Summary

Despite installing Solus 4.5 with Finnish keymap, the LUKS prompt still defaults to US keymap.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Boot 4.5 ISO
  2. Open installer
  3. Set up Finnish language and keymap
  4. Manually partition so that you've got a non-encrypted boot partition and a LUKS encrypted root partition with a password that uses special characters
  5. Install
  6. Reboot

Expected result

The LUKS prompt should accept the password as typed in the installer

Actual result

The LUKS prompt doesn't accept the password

Other comments

Adding vconsole.keymap=fi to boot parameters of the installed system makes the LUKS prompt work as intended.

@silkeh I think maybe we should have the option of adding the user's chosen keymap to the kernel command line with rd.vconsole.keymap=<whatever> so it works on first boot after install?

@EbonJaeger co-assigning you so you can potentially look into what kind of options we have for extracting the selected keymap from calamares.

I don't think it should be an option: it should be set correctly on install when not using QWERTY. I personally have vconsole.keymap instead of rd.vconsole.keymap, but we can bikeshed that later.

@EbonJaeger Any clue how to do this from the installer? Does it need a dedicated post-install script invocation somewhere...?
