[Bug 871752] Re: wrong keyboard layout to enter wifi credential on a non-us keyboard

[kalle]

I installed Kubuntu 13.10 yesterday and this is still not changed. This
is the first time I have not used the "alternate" CD and it affected
disk encryption as well. I ended up having to reinstall immediately
because I could not decrypt my disk, since I had entered the passphrase
on a different keyboard layout. When encrypting disks there is no option
in the installer to show the password on screen. Please put keyboard
selection earlier in the install process.

Title:
  wrong keyboard layout to enter wifi credential on a non-us keyboard

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 11.10

  On the wifi step, by default the keyboard layout is set to 'US' which
  make it difficult to enter wireless password if the system's keyboard
  is non-US.

  <http://goo.gl/YwIcT>: "The “Keyboard layout” screen should appear
  immediately before whichever is the first keyboard-requiring step.
  This might be, for example, “Connect to the Internet”, “Allocate disk
  space”, or “Where are you”."

  <http://goo.gl/b7460>: "'Connect to the Internet' ... is a keyboard-
  requiring step, because you will likely need to enter a wi-fi
  password."
