Ok. Could you try resetting the password for user a?
You could do this (as root) with:
passwd a

And then try again to login to a tty.


This was successful thanks, but the dvorak keyboard layout is not recognised at the graphical sign-in prompt. The layout is recognised when a command terminal is opened within the graphical user session.

Just to be sure: you do realise that the password shown in /etc/shadow
is the encrypted password and not the literal string to type in?
(no offence).


Using 'less' to access the file, the password is visible as literal text.
