Public bug reported:
Steps to reproduce:
1. Boot the Lubuntu Lunar Final ISO.
2. Launch Calamares and set the language to "Spanish (Mexico)".
3. Proceed through the installer until you get to the partitioning screen.
4. At the partitioning screen, enable encryption and type a passphrase that
includes a double-quote symbol.
- On a Spanish keyboard the double-quote symbol is on the same key as the @
symbol on an English keyboard. So if you have an English keyboard, type a
passphrase like P@ssphrase1 or something.
5. Finish the installation process.
6. Reboot.
7. Attempt to enter the disk passphrase exactly as you had entered it into
Calamares.
Expected result: The disk should unlock and Lubuntu should boot.
Actual result: An "access denied" error is shown and you are dropped to
a "grub rescue>" prompt. You can unlock the disk if you reboot and type
the passphrase, but using the English double-quote rather than the
Spanish one. (For instance, if you have an English keyboard, you would
have typed P@ssphrase1 into Calamares but would then have to type
P"ssphrase1 to unlock the disk.)
