Public bug reported:

Good day,

I enabled disk encryption when installing Ubuntu and it has been working
flawlessly till kernel 5.8.0-45.51 was installed.

I keep getting this error when entering my password: "cryptsetup failed,
bad password or options". I was somehow able to fall back into some
shell while booting and it seems that any characters I type show up as
diamonds "♦", except for the numbers. I also came across this thread
which talks about a similar problem
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1220022/keyboard-types-only-numbers-
while-letters-are-typed-like-diamonds

Switching back to 5.8.0-44 fixes the issue for me.

I'm currently on Ubuntu 20.10
Would be happy to provide more details.

Thanks!
