Hello,

When Linux with disk encryption boots, a prompt to unlock the disk appears early in the boot process. This works fine, if one has the hardware (USB) keyboard handy. But with tablets, this is not to be assumed.

Windows with BitLocker offers a on-screen keyboard to unlock the drive before Windows boots.

On SP4, and I assume all other tablets, and current Surface kernel (5.10.16-surface), there is no such option. On the login screen and later, of course, there is.

I looked, but was unable to find if such functionality already exists. Can you please advise if it does, and if not, could it possibly be a feature of this project.

Environment

• Hardware model: Surface Pro 4
• Kernel version: 5.10.16-surface
• Distribution: Ubuntu Groovie

Thanks,
Andrej
