Comment 6 for bug 428575

Beste Cees,

Het is me niet geheel duidelijk hoe je de zaak oplost. Hoe kun je in het log-in scherm op
keyboard klikken?

Verder zie ik in de linked log file dat er hetzelfde gebeurt als bij mij. Ik krijg het idee dat het
overnemen uit windows van de keyboard layout net als bij mij mislukt en dat dan 'it' als
default waarde wordt genomen.

Hartelijke groet,

Harry Croon

> Bug description:
> Wubi installed and username/password defined. After restart password was not accepted. Escaped to terminal mode as root and changed password. Now I could enter wubi. Then in wubi I saw the keyboard layout was set to Italian. I changed this to US, International. Then authorization with password failed.
> Cause of this trouble: I used a special character in my password, which was defined by the windows keyboard type: US International. After rebooting the keyboard layout was automatically changed to Italian and typing in my password resulted in an other special character and the password was not accepted. After redefining a new password the special character was that from the Italian keyboard. Then I changed the keyboard setting to USinternational and again the password was not accepted.
> So either copy the keyboard layout setting from windows or ask it the user.
