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...
AFAIK is this setting for the user when logged in and not for TDM to login.
In tdm I set the language to german as well, but this only effects the
messages shown.
Console keyboard is probably controled by your
distribution's settings.
Yes.
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 the password.
AFAIK only user names starting with a number are really forbitten and
the user name is not the problem. It seems, that tdm dosn't like the
Umlaut in the password.
Fine regards
Rolf
