Description Josef Karliak 2008-07-27 20:26:24 UTC 
When I used (KDE4) KDE keyboard layout switcher and US keyboard layout, I had prompt errors. Seems like layouts wasn't right. 
For example:

chose@prdola:~> ssh celer -l root -X
ssh: Could not resolve hostname celer\302\240-l\302\240root\302\240-X:
Name or service not known

or:

chose@prdola:~> su root
bash: su root: command not found

I replaced US->GB, all was OK. And with CS too. And here we go:

chose@prdola:~> ssh celer -l root -X

Have a lot of fun...
celer:~ #

If I could help with any logs and others, contact me, I'll help you of course.

J.Karliak.

Disabling autologin should help.
