Hi,
I was using Ubuntu 64 - 10.10 in my HP laptop lately... Not problem, I
installed Kubuntu 10.10 again ;)
So I do have now three OS: Ubuntu and Kubuntu 10.10 (and... Windows
Vista 64 for playing some non-Linux-games-yet, from time to time).
In the fresh Kubuntu 64 10.10, KDE 4.5.1 install, I firstly have
arranged for a "normal" password (only letters and numbers without
symbols and shorter than 8 characters long).
Then, I have changed my password to a whopping 28 characters long one,
mixing letters (uppercase and lowercase) and numbers with ASCII symbols
like: @, $, (, >, =, ], or {.
The "complicated" passwords now work just nice in Kubuntu using KDE
4.5.1.
Finally, I have updated KDE to 4.6.0 and, then, for this time I have
arranged for another "just" 15 characters long password, including also
some non-ASCII, like: ñ, Ñ, ç, Ç, ¡ or ¿ (from my Spanish keyboard).
Despite the warning message about setting-up a password more than 8
characters long (displayed both in KDE 4.5.1 and in the 4.6.0 version),
the new mixed passwords are now accepted and confirmed (in both quoted
KDE versions).
Then it also work OK all kinds of passwords I have set-up for authenticating
the administrative tasks.
I just have to say a BIG Thanks.
