Description Marcus Moeller 2009-07-02 16:46:18 UTC
Description of problem:

It seems that cryptsetup-luks only accepts US keyboard layout. This is at least a problem if you assign a passphrase with non-US characters (like Latin Umlauts).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

1.0.6-7.fc11.i586

How reproducible:

Set up an encrypted device and assign a key that contains non-US characters.
  
Actual results:

passphrase input layout is US

Expected results:

cryptsetup should either support international keyboard layouts or there should be a warning that only US keyboard layout is supported.

Comment 1 Milan Broz 2009-07-02 17:08:11 UTC
password is read by plymouth during boot, cryptsetup just receives prepared string, reassigning to that component.

(for running cryptsetup from console there should be no problem with various keyboard layouts)

Comment 2 Bug Zapper 2010-04-27 15:26:17 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 11.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '11'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2010-06-28 13:26:45 UTC
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
