Comment 1 Johannes Schmid 2011-02-24 10:58:11 UTC
(Sorry, accidentely created the report before finishing the description)

Description of problem:

When I login and enter my password and press "Return" key, the login fail (looks the same as if the password would have been wrong). If I use the mouse to press the "Login" button instead it works. 

How reproducible:

Happens always
 
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Fast user switch
2. Select user
3. Enter password
4. Press Return key
 
Actual results:

Login fails
 
Expected results:

Login succeeds
 
Additional info:

I tried this so often that I am sure I always entered the correct password (at least if the return key doesn't spit random characters...)

I have the same problem under fc15 x86_64 with gdm.
My keyboard layout is german nodeadkeys.

If i used the return-key from the keyboard to confirm, login is not possible. I'm falling back to the begin of the login.
It only works if i confirm with a mouse klick.

I have also updated x-server to xorg-x11-server-1.9.99.1-6.20101201.fc15 today.
But the problem still exits.

Comment 3 Johannes Schmid 2011-02-25 12:29:06 UTC
As it seems to be related, yes I am using german keyboard layout, too though I think I removed the nodeadkeys variant because it was breaking X completely and was a known bug in the first alpha.

Comment 4 Andre Robatino 2011-02-25 12:34:04 UTC
This happens also with the default US keyboard. The problem exists in both F15 and Rawhide, both i686 and x86_64. I heard about the problem from someone else a few days ago but can't find another bug report.

I know this, but with xorg-x11-server-1.9.99.1-6.20101201.fc15 you don't have to do the workaround.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=676827

I had the same issue, but it was related to bug 678825, thus updating to ibus-1.3.99.20110206-4.fc15 fixed the issue for me. I am using the standard German keyboard layout (KEYTABLE="de", MODEL="pc105", LAYOUT="de").

Comment 7 Wolfgang Ulbrich 2011-02-25 15:27:37 UTC
Thx for the info. Updating ibus fix the issue also by me.

Comment 8 Tom Mannerhagen 2011-03-09 07:21:33 UTC
Hi

This or similar issue has appeared this morning after updating the Alpha.
Before the update I could log in without problems
Now, after the update (which contained a GDM update I could see) I am not allowed to log in.

- I click on my listed profile
- I get the password field
- I enter my working password and press ENTER
- GDM thinks for a while and then shows me the login again.

I have checked my password by logging in to tty2. This works great with my profile and password.

Cheers

Tom

What you describe is a different issue reported in bug 683157.

Comment 10 Wolfgang Ulbrich 2011-03-09 20:22:18 UTC
I can confirm this new issue with gdm.
For me i change now to slim and xfce, and everythaing works fine :)
Goodbye gnome.

Comment 11 Johannes Schmid 2011-03-20 04:33:34 UTC
The original issue is definitly fixed (the other is bug 683157) and the last comment is pure ranting. Closing...
