I see this behavior on five(!) Aspire one D250-Netbooks with Ubuntu 12.04.1. It's not a typing problem - the password entered is just not recognized. On all machines are two different user accounts and this problem exists with each one, so it's not a account-specific problem. There's nothing uncommon in the logs. It is reproduceable with any user accounts created to test this. When trying often enough the login will work, but that can take up from one to twenty or thirty tries (there's no fix number whatsoever).
What seems to help sometimes is to use Ctrl+Alt+F1 and log in there, then switch back to graphical mode. Then the login works as normal. (This is not a workaround as it only works sometimes without any reason.) When trying long enough and the login suddenly succeeds, it works normal for a few minutes (=using "sudo" in terminal and graphical system commands without a problem). But after a couple of minutes (5-10) the problem rises again. Like I said I see this problem on all five machines. Besides everything works fine and there are no other problems with this machines and 12.04 I'm aware of. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to seahorse in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/838936 Title: Wrong password everytime Status in “seahorse” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Everytime I need to enter my password I always get the wrong password message.
