I am running the latest beta of 18.04 with upgrades. Since installation I try to log in the gdm screen and receive the message, "Sorry, that didn't work. Please try again." I get the same message when I try to log in to Update Manager.

[Bug 1758563] Re: Blocked at gdm login screen on 18.04 if user password has a circumflex accent
This affects me as well. I am using: - GNOME Shell 3.28.0 - GDM 3.28.1 - a 105-key ISO keyboard - 'German' keyboard layout (_not_ the 'no dead keys' variant) I am not using Ubuntu but I am adding this info here, since this issue seems to be much easier to find than the one on GNOME's GitLab. When using the 'no dead keys' variant I can successfully enter single accent characters like '`' or '^' but not accented vowels like 'ò' (it becomes '`o'). When using the 'German' keyboard layout with dead keys, I cannot enter certain accented vowels either. Pressing [^] and [o] simply outputs 'o'. These keys have to be pressed _after_ each other usually. Numerous other special characters, that require simultaneous keypresses work though: €@§~#µ etc., e.g. [AltGr] + [a] --> æ. Compose keys do not work either and thus I believe that this is indeed issue #115 linked by seb1228 above. Interestingly, the on-screen keyboard could not enter many of the simpler special characters, like 'ö' or 'ä' which are single keypresses on the keyboard, at all (see attached picture). In three instances I could enter 'š', 'å' and 'ß'. I deleted 'š' and could not reproduce any of those characters with the on-screen keyboard after that. This problem persists on the desktop though, so it appears to be unrelated? I'll wait for GNOME Shell 3.28.1 and report back if that fixes my issue. ** Attachment added: "showing different special characters that work. dead keys do not work." https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1758563/+attachment/5110930/+files/deadkeys.jpg -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1758563 Title: Blocked at gdm login screen on 18.04 if user password has a circumflex accent To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1758563/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1716159 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1716159 Hi, I made some more testings. First, I just updated my laptop to Ubuntu 17.10 : I confirm that writing "û" with circumflex accent still worked on artful and that password is accepted. It's like on my computer home : from Artful until 18.04 alpha, it worked in gdm with a "û" character. Since 10th March updates, no more. On Ubuntu 17.10, on the contrary to bug 1716159, I still can type the Euro symbol € in the login field and it is well written... I will check later for current 18.04.

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1716159 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1716159 Thanks, I already did that the first time I was blocked on login screen, it failed at step 3 : unable to connect after changing passwd in recovery... I don't know if problem is correlated, but I have no more access to terminal : Ctrl Alt F1 F2... does nothing. For the moment I solved the problem with a complete fresh reinstallation of Ubuntu bionic, iso from 21st March and an initial password without "û". But someone just tried with Debian Stretch, gdm3 version 3.22.3 : when he writes û in the login field, it well writes û with the accent. In 18.04, when I type û, it writes u I need to test on Ubuntu Artful, but as said before my password always had û on 17.10 and it worked, same on early versions of 18.04 ; only with the 10th March updates of bionic it failed, with gdm3 now in 3.27.92. For me it is a different bug than 1716159 because much more recent, at least for the circumflex accent problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1758563 Title: Blocked at gdm login screen on 18.04 if user password has a circumflex accent To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1758563/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1716159 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1716159 Hi, I'm not sure this is an exact duplicte of bug 1716159 (I saw it before reporting here). It's right, today I checked, if I enter û in the gdm login field, it writes u, but : - this was also the case since early alpha testing of Ubuntu 17.10, I already had the same password, only since update of 10th March 2018 it is refused. And when I chose it, on the live USB installation, was the French alternative keyboard selected, so I'm sure it was with the accent (I checked again, typing one with û and one with u gets an error on 2 passwords not matching). - In this case, modifying the password in recovery session should have allowed me to login again (which I could in terminal only the very first time I had this bug, so modification was successful, after ,I have no access to console), but not...
