This approach enables disk unlocking on Xubuntu 10.10 with incorrect keyboard layout, suggesting a viable recovery method.
The other day I was installing Xubuntu 10.10 onto an old Mac G4 Powerbook and got the keyboard layout wrong. I had encrypted the entire disk and so, with the keyboard mapped entirely incorrectly ("j" was enter), I was unable to unlock the disk to continue. To solve this, I booted off the alternate CD and entered a recovery shell, hoping this would ask me to unlock the disk.
