[03:54] <ashishk> .
 Forwarded from Mr.: Hello anyone there
 Forwarded from Mr.: Pls help me I'm in serious trouble
 Forwarded from Mr.: I installed lubuntu
 Forwarded from Mr.: Erased everything
 Forwarded from Mr.: I gave password 11digit
 Forwarded from Mr.: But in login page it's allowing me only 10digit
 Forwarded from Mr.: And if I enter first 10 digit it shows login failed
 Forwarded from Mr.: Pls help me😭
[18:54] <kryten> I'm guessing it's a keyboard layout issue really.
 In what way did it stop you from entering all 11 digits?
[18:55] <kryten> Or NumLock being turned off.
 Like ,after entering 10digits it stops taking characters (re @kc2bez: In what way did it stop you from entering all 11 digits?)
 That may be all that shows in the dialog box but I bet it takes all 11. Enter your complete password and press enter.
 Wait I'll send u the pic

 https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/65c4f5e2/file_2552.jpg
 It's allowing only 10 digits
 Right, but it will accept all 11 even if it doesn't show.
 No , it's not taking 😞
 It's allowing only 10
 Any other ways
 is that particular key still functional?
 Mean?
 the 11 digit
 the key you press
 does that key still work?
 Yup ,but it takes only 10
 is it possible to install an other login manager using tty and login via the new login manager?
 Right now I have only lubuntu
 I erased completely
 While partition
 @kc2bez
 could this be a solution? (re @Michaël: is it possible to install an other login manager using tty and login via the new login manager?)
 I find it odd that it doesn't work with 11 digits, I have used larger passwords multiple times. I would probably circle back to the keyboard layout.
 we can check the keyboard layout using tty
 Mr.  could try to type his password in the user name space
 not pressing enter of course
 but the keyboard layout is visible then
 right, good idea on the tty.
 Mr. do you know how to open the tty?
 Nope sir ,how ?
 I never heard of it
 press ctrl+alt+f2
 it'll ask for you user name
 in that field you can test your keyboard layout
 I'm there
 try your keyboard layout
 it's possible even when even the led from num lock is on num lock is off
 so you might want to press that num lock key
 https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/cf1eb342/file_2553.jpg
 that the tty :)
 in there you can test your keyboard layout
 What Should I type in login
 Username?
 in your case your password
 see you password appears on the screen as you want it to be
 if not
 it could be related to your keyboard layout
 don't press enter
 In login: I entered the password
 And pressed enter
 does the password appear as you want it to be?
 Yes
 did you reboot your machine after you encountered this the first time?
 But when I press enter it takes me to the second line asking password:
 Yes (re @Michaël: did you reboot your machine after you encountered this the first time?)
 doesn't matter in our case now (re @Mr.: But when I press enter it takes me to the second line asking password:)
 you could login in using tty
 but you'll be left with terminal then
 of your login manager doesn't accept an 11th digit
 I don't know what to do with that
 Can't I do anything boot manager  and other options
 to humor me
 could you just give it a try
 login using tty
 and reboot
 so first enter your user name
 and next it'll ask for the password
 when you're logged in
 type reboot
 Steps?
 Now ,I'm in tty
 Page
 It's asking for login:
 yes
 login is the question to enter your user name
 What should I enter
 i'd think it's aston (re @Mr.: )
 i think that's your user name
 Yup
 next it should be asking for your password
 Wait. Wait
 I entered aston in login:
 Should I press enter
 yes
 you want to confirm your pc that's the whole user name
 I entered password in password:
 ok
 like you did with the user name
 confirm you're finished typing your password by pressing enter
 It's showing login incorrect
 where you ever able to login after installation?
 No
 In lubuntu safe I installed lubuntu and I erased windows
 do you think it's possible while you where installing and you had to enter your preferred password the first time that it went wrong there?
 In tty the underscore cursor is not moving while entering password
 I remember it asked me two times (re @Michaël: do you think it's possible while you where installing and you had to enter your preferred password the first time that it went wrong there?)
 Password and retype the password
 that's not an odd thing (re @Mr.: In tty the underscore cursor is not moving while entering password)
 many more distro's act in this way
 And I saw a green tick (re @Mr.: Password and retype the password)
 When I retuped the password
 In installation process
 I don't think the underscore moves, it is actually a security measure so that folks looking over your shoulder don't know the length of the password. (re @Mr.: In tty the underscore cursor is not moving while entering password)
 Pardon i didn't know (re @kc2bez: I don't think the underscore moves, it is actually a security measure so that folks looking over your shoulder don't know the length of the password.)
 I'm new to lonux
 I don't know why the hell it's not allowing 11 characters
 In password
 Mr. do you recall wether numlock was on or not during installation?
 because standard it's turned off
 I didn't have any numbers in my password
 personally i do not see any option left but to reinstall :/
 How can I do that
 the way your installed Lubuntu
 repeat the process
 I don't have other os left
 do you have your installation media with you?
 Like?
 I have my pendrive
 use your pendrive to reinstall
 Were you able to login using the tty?
 no (re @kc2bez: Were you able to login using the tty?)
 Nope
 Ah,
 Now how should I reintall
 what did you do the first time?
 you have to repeat that
[19:42] <Maik> @Mr. reset your password, also in case you forgot it: https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.com/p/forgotten-password.html
[19:42] <Maik> hope it helps
 Wait
 I pressed ESC while the lap was starting
 And then I arrived at boot manager
 And clicking usb hard drive
 F9 (re @Mr.: And then I arrived at boot manager)
 Is it applicable for lubuntu also (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <Maik> @Mr. reset your password, also in case you forgot it: https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.com/p/forgotten-password.html)
[19:51] <Maik> Of course
 Thank you ❤️  I'm reinstalling lubuntu
 And it's working
 ❤️❤️❤️
 💯😭
