[Bug 1716159] Re: gdm greeter does not allow non-US characters (like euro character €) when typing password
I just tried : - on a laptop where Ubuntu has been updated from 17.04 to 17.10 yesterday (27th March) - on the current 18.04 pre-release version on my home computer (updates made until 27th March) Both were installed with French language and "French alternative" keyboard configuration. On both I can well type Euro symbol € and it is well written in the gdm login field. Same for # $ @ ù é. Only letters with an accent needing a double click are not written correctly since 10th March updates on 18.04 (but work on 17.10) : û and ü give u ô and ö give o (see bug 1758563) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1716159 Title: gdm greeter does not allow non-US characters (like euro character €) when typing password To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1716159/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I think the bug title is correct for what Franck and others are experiencing.

[Bug 1716159] Re: gdm greeter does not allow non-US characters (like euro character €) when typing password
In any case I think that the claim in the bug summary and description is not correct. I just tested with a password including both € and ö and could log in using GDM just fine. @Franck: I suspect that some other keyboard layout but the one you expect is enabled for the login screen. Can you please let us know what these two terminal commands output: cat /etc/default/keyboard gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.input-sources sources Also, to easier be able to guide you if needed, can you please let us know if you are using a one user system or if more than one user account have been created. ** Changed in: gdm3 (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1716159 Title: gdm greeter does not allow non-US characters (like euro character €) when typing password To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1716159/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I can't confirm anything.

@Daniel: If that workaround makes a difference, it sounds like the cause of the problem is that LANG was set to a non-UTF-8 value (such as C or POSIX). So it would be an encoding issue.

[Bug 1716159] Re: gdm greeter does not allow non-US characters (like euro character €) when typing password
Possible workaround: 1. Log in to a VT (e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F4) and temporarily change your password to something simpler by running 'passwd'. 2. Change back to the graphics login screen: Alt+F1 3. Log in with your new simpler password. 4. Go to Settings > Language and Region > Input Sources > Manage Installed Languages 5. In the 'Language Support' dialog drag your preferred language to the top and then click: Apply System-Wide (Use the same language choices for startup and the login screen) 6. Now change your password again to something you prefer. And I hope the login screen will now accept it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1716159 Title: gdm greeter does not allow non-US characters (like euro character €) when typing password To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1716159/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
