You have been subscribed to a public bug:
On Ubuntu 16.04:
When clicking on the following 3 keyboard keys simultaneously:
Left-CTRL + Left-ALT + F1
Then you get to a textual terminal (CLI) where you can type commands.
But there is a problem when typing English letters with Caps Lock turned on:
Instead of English capital letters - you see squares,
so actually you can't login to your user that way
if the username/password has Capital letters.
The only method which allows you to write capital English letters
is to simultaneously click Left-Shift + 'a letter'.
That is the only method that works well.
Note that the Caps Lock key works well with the graphical terminal (pseudo /
pts)
that appears on Ubuntu when hitting simultaneously:
Left-CTRL + Left-ALT + T

I assumed the bug report is relevant to "shadow" package because that
the "/bin/login" binary comes from that package.
Package version of 'shadow' is: 1:4.2-3.1ubuntu5
