Wrong keymap when decrypting master key
(address . bug-guix@gnu.org)
87pnee4lil.fsf@cassou.me
Hi,

I've installed Guix System manually in Gnome Boxes and asked for
encrypting the hard drive. When booting, Guix will ask 3 times for my
passphrase:

1. just after displaying Welcome to Grub, but before displaying the Grub
menu, Guix asks for my passphrase for hd0,gpt2
2. after the Grub menu, it asks for decrypting /dev/sda2
3. after that, it asks for decrypting /dev/sda3

I find it quite annoying to enter my passphrase 3 times. But even more
annoying, the first time, I have to enter it in Qwerty even though all
my system is supposed to be configured for Colemak:

(operating-system
(locale "en_US.utf8")
(timezone "Europe/Paris")
(keyboard-layout
(keyboard-layout "us" "colemak" #:options '("ctrl:nocaps")))
(bootloader
(bootloader-configuration
(bootloader grub-bootloader)
(target "/dev/sda")
(keyboard-layout keyboard-layout)))

Is there a way to enter my passphrase less often and/or always in
Colemak?

Thanks

Didn't you already[0] report this bug as #39288? Then I'll merge
the two.

Kind regards,

no, it's not me. I deny it… Sorry, I'm getting old. Please merge them.
