please provide yast logs and give a bit more details of what you did, e.g. what keyboard layout you used.

Comment 2 Emil Cabaj 2009-09-20 20:43:32 UTC

I have used Polish keyboard layout.
I will post logs tomorrow when I reinstall 11.2

Comment 3 Emil Cabaj 2009-09-20 20:51:04 UTC

Hmm... how can I post yast logs if I can't login?

Comment 4 Lukas Ocilka 2009-09-21 09:22:37 UTC

You can write

init=/bin/bash

to you kernel param commandline (this will make it possible to get into system without password).

or you can live system from CD/DVD (or start installation or rescue system) and mount the disk somewhere. Then you'll be able to find the YaST logs.

Well, than it's most likely a raeson: you probably entered Polish characters, and now when you trying to log in, there's English keyboard layout.
Is that true? You could probably switch between both layouts using shift+shift keys.

Comment 6 Emil Cabaj 2009-09-22 21:15:32 UTC

That's true :)
But it should be fixed anyway... :)

Comment 7 Jiří Suchomel 2009-09-23 09:21:29 UTC

What should be fixed?
Does it work when you change the keyboard layout? So where's the bug?

Comment 8 Emil Cabaj 2009-09-24 20:58:33 UTC

So openSUSE force me to use US keyboard layout? :P You think this is not a bug?
I will install milestone 6 tomorrow because I will have more time.

No, it does not, why do you think?
I was asking:

- what keyboard layout do you have after installation
- if you are able to switch to the other one pressing shift+shift? If so, than if you are able to enter your password in one of the layouts available.

Comment 10 Emil Cabaj 2009-09-26 19:19:11 UTC

I have English keyboard after installation and it works when I change it :)

Comment 11 Jiří Suchomel 2009-10-01 06:32:51 UTC

So, was your keyboard setting selected in installation actually saved?
How are you "changing it", does it work with shift-shift (than it would be correct behavior I assume) or do you have to change it in the desktop tool?

Comment 12 Jiří Suchomel 2009-10-20 07:36:55 UTC

Actually I think this was bug 542009
