Actual results: Lockout from terminal mode and GUI Expected results: As per Fedora 17, able to use terminal mode and to return to GUI mode, Additional info: Contact me for other testing of patches or whatever.
Is this a problem. I have setup my F18 with English. Subsequently I added the Canadian French keyboard and deleted the English keyboard from the list. Ergo, I use only one keyboard on the system, corresponding to the markings on the pc105 phyical one, but using the Canadian French mappings. But if there us a "timeout-lock user account" or a sudo request for a password, all entries are refused. I am presenting this information here, because this problem is not addressed as of 19 November 2012, and I know the beta freeze will be out next week. I am doing daily system updates to determine if the problem is resolved. Is it a keyboard problem or another problem such as the routine to accept a password during an active user session.
Appears resolvd with Beta TC9
