My HD crashed, and while waiting for a new laptop for work, I put in an old HD I had laying around, and started trying some distro's.
Opensuse KDE was nice, it had some more recent packages, for example Libre office, Also yast is very nice,
but a number of small inconveniences led me back to Neon.
I installed Neon 18.04 development_stable, and the keyboard layout in the login screen is not correct.
In system settings I removed the US qwerty keyboard and replaced it by the FR azerty layout, so there is only one layout there.
When rebooting, I could not log in, because the passwd field still has the qwerty layout.
How can I fix this ? or should I file a bug for this ?
As I am distro testing, I made myself a post install script to install all applications I want to have on my PC.
Here it is, use it as an example for your own if you find it useful.
It installs a number of extra packages from the repos, my Brother printer/scanner drivers, and some debs that are not in the repos.
