Bug#759062: linux: Keyboard layout changed from default for LUKS password
Source: linux
Version: 3.14.15-2
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Prior to all but the latest version of the kernel (3.14-2), the console
keyboard layout and, more importantly, the password prompt to input the
encryption passphrase for the LUKS mount was in QWERTY despite the fact that I
use workman for everything else. As of upgrading to the latest version,
however, the keyboard layout has changed without notice to workman.
At the very least, there should be a mention in NEWS about the switch over.
Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to help. It's possible
that the change was made in some other package at the same time as the kernel
upgrade, though I do notice that switching to booting the -1 version of that
kernel uses QWERTY once more.
Sincerely,
