> There are common things in our logfiles that might cause the selection of the wrong Italian keyboard:
> * DEBUG WindowsBackend: timezone=Europe/Rome (as Rome is in Italy)
> * DEBUG WindowsBackend: keyboard_id=-268368877 (HP ZX5000 laptop)
> * DEBUG WindowsBackend: keyboard_layout=it (but VS international is selected in Windows)

> 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.
