Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
If I enter the <"> character (inverted comma) in the gdm password field,
then X restarts immediately.
* This only happens once. On subsequent attempts, gdm accepts the entire
password
* I am using the non-free nvidia 190.53 binary driver
* Running fully-updated lucid alpha 2
* I have UK keyboard layout
I'm afraid I don't know exactly which package is causing this bug or
what information to provide. Please let me know and I'll happily
oblige.
