After installing and customising Kubuntu 14.04 (adding packages, install printer driver, making some cosmetic changes, the things I usually do after installing a new release)
I noticed that at some point my password was not recognised anymore when starting synaptics package manager.
I then tried to install packages via the konsole commant sudo apt-get install, but it told me that my password is wrong.
After some testing, it turns out that some characters from the top keyboard row don't show up in konsole and in password input boxes.
in normal applications like a browser or kate, they show up fine.
I use the Belgian keyboard layout, and the top keyboard characters are&é"'(§è!çà)-
When I type these characters in a konsole window or in yakuake this is what shows up &"'(!)-
I tried changing to the FR keyboard layout which is nearly the same as the BE keyboard, but the same thing happens.
When I log in via a txt only console using ctrl-alt-F1, everything works correctly, the characters show up.
this is how I was able to change my passwd to something that does not contain any of these characters
Any idea why this is and how to solve it ?
Or should I report this as a bug in Launchpad ?
