Yes that's right! Thank you. :) sudo update-initramfs -u -k all did the trick. I have now Colemak at dm-crypt! Also in virtual consoles. GRUB editor still uses qwerty, but that's not a concern, dm-crypt password prompt was most important. For disclosure, I have full disk encryption on / but /boot and /boot/efi are not encrypted, no separate partitions.
So, full instruction to achieve your keyboard layout of choice is: sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration sudo update-initramfs -u -k all sudo reboot probably not needed: sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup, but keeping it in my notepad in case it's required after all in fresh install. Problem with keyboard-configuration: should this be reported as a bug? sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration should trigger update-initramfs on it's own, automatically, otherwise effects of this command are being ignored until new kernel arrives, computer is rebooted with new kernel with new initramfs. Correct? On 19/09/2021 20:36, David Wright wrote:
Then I would rebuild my initramfs with update-initramfs.
