On the LUKS password screen at boot, when using the default cachyos-bootanimation boot splash screen, the keyboard layout says “no” (Norway) for me instead of “us” (my actual layout). Another user had a similar issue, but with “emacs” replacing “de”: LUKS passphrase, keyboard layout
The workaround of switching to another theme (bgrt), as discussed in that thread, shows the correct “us” label for me.
If you compare /usr/share/plymouth/themes/cachyos-bootanimation/keymap-render.png to /usr/share/plymouth/themes/spinner/keymap-render.png (bgrt uses spinner’s keymap-render.png), spinner’s “us” lines up with cachyos-bootanimation’s “no.” The same is true for “emacs” and “de.” A fix might be for cachyos-bootanimation to use spinner’s keymap-render.png.
Replacing keymap-render.png from /usr/share/plymouth/themes/spinner/ folder and putting it to /usr/share/plymouth/themes/cachyos-bootanimation/ had fixed it for me.
Be sure to keep backup of old keymap-render.png file before replacing.
I am using Slovak-qwerty keyboard layout and it was shown as UA (Ukraine one). After changing the file it correctly shows as SK.
Odd thing however is that even tho i have sk-qwerty in /etc/vconsole.conf the keymap is still US (the keyboard shows as SK but the map is US). But thats an another issue i guess. (Edit: to clarify this was happening before this cosmetic error UA > SK above which got fixed by replacing the file). The replacement of file has no effect on keymap being wrong. Don’t want to pollute the thread with offtopic but maby someone had similar issue
