[Bug 1072356] [NEW] Installation process - move keyboard layout selection before cryptsetup

[windshield]

Public bug reported:

Hi,

I installed the new Ubuntu 12.10 Version on my computer and stumbled
over an annoying bug.

On the installation process I checked the box to crypt my whole hard
disk. After this step I had to type in a password for the hard disk
encryption. So I did. After this the installation went through fine BUT
after the reboot I entered my hard disk encryption password and it
always said the password is wrong. I had no clue what this error caused
but now I think it failed because of the keyboard layout.

I have choosen the German keyboard layout but the installation hard disk
encryption step is BEFORE the user has to select a keyboard layout.
Therefore the keys I have pressed weren't the keys I entered in the
system. Besides of that  there is no way in the installation process to
display the hd encryption password in cleartext.

I suggest to move the keyboard selection step before the user can
configure the hard disk encryption.

Thank you!
