Hi,
I made an accout with name "jürgen", password "jürgen" and the home
directory is named "jürgen" too (for testing purpose only).
Without tdm i.e. from a console I can login without any problems, but
TDM-Login says "wrong password"
So is it a bug or a feature?
Fine regards
Rolf
Hi Rolf,
How is your keyboard setup (in TDE)?
When I install, TDE defaults to US keyboard and I have to install the swiss
keyboard (Trinity Control Center -> Regional & Accessibility -> Keyboard
Layout). Of course you probably have it in German...
Console keyboard is probably controled by your distribution's settings.
I don't advise using accented letters in passwords and filenames (although I
do use @, but I know where it is on the US keyboard). But you can set a
provisory password, change the keyboard, then teh password.
I don't know if the login screen's keyboard is controled by root's keyboard
though...
