    Can't login after installation

    Hi Kubuntu community,

    After 28 years with SuSE/OpenSUSE, I'm testing Kubuntu for possible migration.

    Installation went very well, but now I can't login into the system. I suspect the keyboard layout is not set to Czech as I set it during the installation process and as a result the password gets mangled. Unfortunately:
    - there's no option to switch/confirm the keyboard layout
    - the Virtual Keyboard button does not work - it does move controls to make room for the keyboard, but does not display it
    - I wasn't able to paste the password into the Kubuntu (in VirtualBox), but that's probably by design
    - I wasn't able to find a way to login into terminal

    And yes, I'm quite sure I'm entering a relevant password 🙂. Within the installation, I displayed it to visually confirm I typed it correctly (twice).

    Kubuntu is a fresh standard install and is running in VirtualBox (as I would like to test and evaluate Kubuntu).

    Could you please give me some suggestions for resolving this issue?

    Best regards,

    Oak

      The "Standard" one, not the LTS. The download page says Kubuntu 25.10.

        OK, I think I know what's happening...

        I deleted the VM and created a new one and ran installer again. Within the installer, I noticed in the keyboard test, that the installer has wierd bug and the Czech keyboard layout does not work properly. Instead of inserting special characters with AltGr key, it ignors the Alt and inserts overlaying normal character. Apparently the Kubuntu itself then works normally, but a different password was entered, than user expected. I did not remember correctly the fact about displaying the password, that is only possible in VB setup, not Kubuntu installer. But if one types the password in the name field, he/she can clearly see, that the keyboard doesn't work correctly...

        Indeed, I can login after re-installation and setting a more primitive password without special characters.

        So this is a bug and I'll try to find a way how to report it.
