Title:
  Keyboard layout mismatch on key enrolment

Status in mokutil package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When installing Ubuntu on a system needing proprietary drivers
  (typically with a nvidia graphics card), we're prompted for a password
  that will then need to be re-entered at reboot for custom key
  enrolment.

  However, the installer will use whichever keyboard layout the user
  specified, whereas the MOK enrolment UI will assume a QWERTY layout,
  which can lead to a lot of frustration for unaware users.

  The best way to solve this would be to make mokutil aware of the
  user's chosen keyboard layout, which I'm guessing isn't trivial.

  However, a good first step would be to simply warn the user when they
  first specify the password if their layout isn't standard qwerty.
