password change on first run fails on kubuntu 11.10

[Aaron Peterson]

I am running kubuntu 11.10,

(kde 4.7.4 i believe)

I created a new account to test some settings that I plan to change in the skeleton, and default settings sections for KDE.

I went to the KDE system settings, and created a new account.
I set the password.

I then went to switch user, and chose to log in as that new user.
It prompted me to change my password, (which is also a bug that there is no place to change this behavior)

and would not accept my text input.
It eventually timed out and went back to my other locked session.

I will be trying it from the main login in a second, but I worked arround it by logging in with the control-alt-f1 and inputting a new password, then I was able to login.
(I then recorded a video on how to change the kde settings to make it work on a netbook because it does not work out of the box)

I created another account, and it also had the same initial password problem. I will be testing this after logging out to see if it is a problem with having multiple x sessions.

I clicked on the field and typed, waited, waited, typed, waited... I did get it to come up once...

I think because it did accept text once that it might be a minor security vulnerability.

I have confirmed that this happens even when there are no other sessions running, and after reboot, as first login.

Anthony, Thank you, I tried to switch it to the right product, but couldn't figure out how to get launchpad to link to the right project.

(I had not made any changes to the settings yet)

This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers.
