When I first installed hardy A4 I couldn't log in. I subsequently determined that it was using an odd layout whore home keys are uiea kmly, but the i isn't really an i as the capital has a dot ever it. I diagrammed the entire keyboard by tping every line into the username line. I arrived at a workaround for the uname, but since I can't find a proper i I can't log into Thunderbird, which usese my AT&T password. The AT&T password works fine in the AT&T window and the regular password work fine for sudo, etc.
My base layout in Dvorak. Using Alt-F1 produces the same add layout that the KDE window uses. This didn't happen on other upgraded machines but I had other problems with them. I have made other attempts on this machine but this install works (after all the updates) works best except for the password problem. Would changing to KDE4 solve the problem? I would have tried that already if I could figure out how to get it (adept and sybaptic don't work). Or is there a file I can replace that governs the KDE login window?
