Title:
  Installation of Ubuntu 13.10 (and13.04) with encypted disk - password
  problem

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I noticed the permanent bug - i found it in 13.04 and in 13.10 too

  How to reproduce:

  1) Start CD installation of Ubuntu 13.10 64bit for example
  2) To choose other (not English) language. I chose the Russian.
  3) After some steps i choose encrypt whole disk
  4) I enter the password. I cannot find anywhere keyboard layout options but i am sure there only a russian characters are typed in russian keyboard layout. But i want to English_US keyboard layout as common variant!
  5) Installing...
  6) Restarting
  7) When we will be asked to enter the password for disk - no matching password... I think because after installation i asked in English layout but the password was saved in russian (UTF-8) one. I don't have any options to change layout because it happens right after BIOS. So i cannot use the Ubuntu. :(

  Summary - i should install system in English if i want to have the
  encrypted disk. But i am russian and it's very stupid situation -
  installation of Ubuntu with encrypted disk in russian language...

  Your opinion?

  Thanks
