At the greeter, if you perform a 'ctl alt f2' (I believe that's the key combo) to get to the console, can you then login? If so, you could kill gdm from there (systemctl stop gdm) at which point a 'startx' would get you into your gui. Once inside gnome you might explore the possibility of a keymap problem, as another poster suggested. That has indeed happened to me. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
