I've been able to produce a weird behavior locking me out of my installed
Kubuntu Oracular system, by doing the following:
- In the Calamares installer
- At the keyboard selection step
- Selected "Arabic (Morocco)" -> "French (Morocco)". This selection makes
`setxkbmap -query` to report two layouts (us,ma), for some reason.
- Selected "Alt+Shift" as a way of changing the layout, and changed to the
secondary one, which is some flavor of AZERTY.
- Kept going with an encrypted installation, and entered the passphrase with
the secondary layout.
- Upon reboot, was unable to enter the passphrase because I would need the
secondary layout to be active, which apparently was not the case, and was thus
locked out.
All of this is reproducible on Oracular, but not on Noble, because on
Noble, if I select the same layout during installation, `setxkbmap` only
reports one layout (ma).
