https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1232744 Bug ID: 1232744 Summary: Swedish keyboard layout dead-keys not working during password prompts Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME Assignee: gnome-bugs@suse.de Reporter: paul.zeiger@physics.uu.se QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Target Milestone: --- Found By: --- Blocker: --- Running GDM and GNOME on OpenSuse Tumbleweed, I encounter a problem when entering characters ^, ¨, ~, ` or ´ in the GNOME password prompt such as during login or when I execute programs requiring root privileges on the command line. I have leanrt with the help of the OpenSuse Forum that all of these keys are entered using dead-keys in the Swedish keyboard layout and we have determined that this is probably a bug. You can find more information under this link: https://forums.opensuse.org/t/cannot-type-tilde-character-in-gnome-password-... I don't encounter the same issue with other keyboard layouts such as the German or English layouts. My current workaround is to switch to one of these layouts for the password prompt or enter the character in question using the onscreen keyboard. Another fix seems to be to set the keyboard variant with the "nodeadkeys" option as suggested by arvidjaar in the forums: tw:/usr/share/X11/xkb # localectl --no-convert set-x11-keymap se "" nodeadkeys tw:/usr/share/X11/xkb # localectl System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 VC Keymap: us X11 Layout: se X11 Variant: nodeadkeys tw:/usr/share/X11/xkb # I have not been able to verify this workaround for now, but will try it later today. It would be nice if this was fixed properly in the right place, but I have lived with this situation for a few months and I can use my system without a fix for now. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
