Description of problem: I've updated my system from kernel 3.1.9 to 3.2.1. Tried to login in kde but the password field has been cleared and I could once again make entries. The only way to login was to use my root passwort. Yesterday the update to 3.2.2 didn't change anything. I can't login. But I've found out, if I turn on the numeric keypad on my keyboard and type the special characters and numbers via this keys then login works! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Linux 3.2.2-1.fc16.x86_64 x86_64 4.7.4 (4.7.4 reloaded (aka 4.7.5) X.Org Gallium 0.4 on AMD SUMO 2.1 Mesa 7.11.2 language: German How reproducible: Need a password with special characters and/ or numbers. KDE. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start the system. 2. Login as non-privileged user. 3. If login failed turn on your numeric keypad and try again. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Are you still having issues with this with kernel 3.4.9 or newer?
Yes, the bug still exists.I'm using kernel 3.5.3-1.fc17.x86_64 and kde 4.8.5. When I log in to KDM the set language is german, but the keyboard is set to english. After the log in process the keyboard settings change to german.
That doesn't sound like a kernel problem to me. Locale setting is up to userspace. I'll route this to KDM for now.
KDM uses the systemwide default keyboard layout, not the one you have set for your user. (Of course. Which user's layout should it use when there are multiple users?) Use system-config-keyboard to set it.

Use system-config-keyboard to set it. Thanks for the hint, but I've already tried that: Lade /lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwertz/de-latin1-nodeadkeys.map.gz. It changes nothing.
Try "kdesu systemsettings" and setting the keyboard layout for root there.
(In reply to comment #6) > Try "kdesu systemsettings" and setting the keyboard layout for root there. I have the keyboard layout enabled for root but it does not change. The system wide language is german. The keyboard is a Logitech K520. I'm using it as a generic pc-keyboard with 104-keys. Also other settings like "logitech cordless desktop" dosn't work.
The update to kde 4.9.1 didn't solve my problem. It is interesting, if I lock the screen and I log in again, the language is German.

This error does not care anymore, I use passwords that are compatible with the German keyboard layout. I'm on FC21.
ok, thanks, closing.
