GNOME doesn't treat well some characters with Czechia keyboard layout in Intrepid Alpha 6

[Lukáš Chmela]

Although I could log in, I cannot do any administrative work, becouse my password consists of some special characters (including the €) and the Intrepid Alpha 6 won't let me do administrative work. I also can't use the sudo command in the terminal. It says "Sorry, try again", after I typed in the password. I think, it is caused by the € character, becouse it is shown like EUR in terminal, not €.

`setxkbmap -print`
xkb_keymap {
 xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwertz)" };
 xkb_types { include "complete" };
 xkb_compat { include "complete" };
 xkb_symbols { include "pc+cz+inet(evdev)" };
 xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" };
};

`xkbcomp :0`
Warning: Could not load keyboard geometry for :0
                  BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
                  Resulting keymap file will not describe geometry

It happened also in every previous version.
Thanks in advance.

this won't fix the bug, but why don't you boot to recovery and change the password with the passwd command?

Becouse I don't want to change my password, I just want somebody to fix this dumb bug.

Thanks for reporting this. That's why I said "this won't fix the bug", but you were complaining you couldn't use sudo and I said until this gets fixed, you could change your password so you CAN use sudo.

This happens also in the first Intrepid beta. I also tried to change the password as you said and then it worked well. So I think, it really happens becouse of the EURO character in password.

Fixed for me in the Intrepid Release Candidate.

Thanks
