I found that I could not log in. I thought I had forgotten my password, so I booted into recovery mode, went got a root terminal and "changed" my password by using passwd. However, this password did not work. I tried all kinds of things I found by Google searches but none worked.<br></div><div><br></div><div>I do have a work around:<br></div><div>At the login prompt, instead of trying to login to my account at first, I selected "other". I typed my password into the place where you would normally put another user name. For the keys that were incorrect, I fooled around with lots of options until I found a combination that would enter the correct letter (e.g. I found that to get the letter "M" I set Caps Lock, then held down the <FUNCTION> key while pressing the letter "M". Once I had the correct password in that location, I copied it, then selected my account to login and pasted the password from above. This worked. Once I am logged in, the keyboard layout is correct and works fine.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Why is the keyboard layout wrong on Boot? And how can I fix it? I can live with it the way it is, but it is annoying and I am very curious to know why this happened.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Another problem after my updates: WiFi no longer works. My wireless adapter is:<br></div><div>Broadcom BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)</div><div><br></div><div>I am not too surprised by this. I took a chance and updated to LUbuntu 21.04 (and it is not even the Beta version yet) so I can expect bugs. Since I am not travelling I am not using this computer. It is the ideal size for air travel, but a bit slow (especially Windows 10) for daily use). I would not be using WiFi an an airline anyway, and maybe they will fix it. Other than that, I have had no problems with it so far.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Murray<br></div></div>_______________________________________________<br><br>Discuss mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Discuss@vlug.org" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-mce-href="mailto:Discuss@vlug.org">Discuss@vlug.org</a><br><a href="http://vlug.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_vlug.org" rel="noreferrer nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" data-mce-href="http://vlug.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_vlug.org">http://vlug.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_vlug.org</a><br></blockquote></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></body></html>
