correct encryption passphrase not being accepted on fresh install
cryptsetup (sda5_crypt): cryptsetup failed, bad password or options?
I remember trying elementaryos like a year or more ago and running into this bug, I tried it again(in a virt machine) and the bug is still there
Everything listed here is what I experience - https://superuser.com/questions/1269393/cryptsetup-password-not-working-on-new-install-and-weird-proliferation-of-chara
I know its not specific to elementaryos but I have no problem with encryption on debian so I don't know what the issue is(some speculation leans toward keyboard layout bugs)
I found an old reddit thread from a user with the same issue https://reddit.com/r/elementaryos/comments/51hfy4/huge_bug_with_inputting_passowords/
Its not a new bug and needs to be fixed
As mentioned in the issue template:
elementary OS does not yet ship this installer. Please direct any issues for the current installer to github.com/elementary/os.
Issues with the current installer are out of scope for this repository and will be closed.
Since GitHub now supports moving issues, I'll file it there for you.
