Description of problem: After a system update yesterday evening, I realize I cannot log in anymore in my Fedora 28 GNOME system this morning: gdm keeps telling me that my password is wrong. Yet I can log in in TTY or with lightdm. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gdm 3.28.1 How reproducible: always since yesterday's update Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot up the computer, wait for gdm login screen 2. Select user, enter password 3. Validate Actual results: authentication failure Expected results: authentication should succeed Additional info: As a workaround here is what I did this morning after switching to TTY (CTRL+ALT+F2): $ sudo dnf install lightdm $ sudo dnf stop gdm $ sudo dnf start lightdm then I can log in
I found out a way to log in with gdm this morning. My keyboard has a french layout (AZERTY), and accordingly the login screen does show a small "fr" icon in the top right corner showing that I did select the correct layout. However, I thought it would be good to check that I was typing the correct thing, so I decided to choose the option to manually type my username. And there I realized that I was typing with a QWERTY layout, despite the "fr" icon in the top right corner. After switching from "fr" to "en" in the top right corner, I was typing in AZERTY once again, and typing my password worked... If anyone has an idea about why my keyboard layouts are inverted only in the login screen, I'm interested :)
