[Bug 1885530] Re: password doesn't leave dots on being entered
I am not able to see the password dots unless i highlight the text in the text box. Also when the screen goes 'gray?' the dots show up. This happens after clicking the login button or hitting enter. My hardware is : Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Picasso (rev c4). It seems like the bug comments are suggesting that the problems are related to fancy hardware features. If so, can I set the login screen to turn off hardware acceleration? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1885530 Title: password doesn't leave dots on being entered To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sddm/+bug/1885530/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This bug disappeared after I switched to Intel only mode in Nvidia x-server settings (was previously on Nvidia on-demand mode).

[Bug 1885530] Re: password doesn't leave dots on being entered
A support query (https://askubuntu.com/questions/1345585/how-to- highlight-password-field-by-default-in-sddm-lubuntu) made me remember this bug... Notes here don't make much mention of it; but I recall trying to login using incorrect passwords on a QA-test install (focal & I believe groovy) and being unable to. Today I had a quick repeat (today's impish daily) on - hp dc7700 (c2d-e6320, 5gb, nvidia quadro nvs 290) - dell [optiplex] 755 (c2d-e6850, 5gb, amd/ati radeon rv516/x1300/x1550) but this issue doesn't occur on them... However on - dell [optiplex] 755 (c2d-e8300, 8gb, amd/ati radeon rv610/radeon hd2400 pro/xt) another box primarily exploring support question booting live & a simple logout & no dots appeared on entry of password no adjustment of displays was needed for issue to occur (and issue still occurs after displays are changed; ie monitor.settings & position relative to each other) i tried a few times to enter using invalid password (no password currently set; it wasn't changed) and I was unable to enter using any letters... I cleared field (~20 backspace) then entered a known length password "password" and hit enter. It fails (hard to see given the screen already said "Login failed" but it's still a lack of response compared to login).. I hit backspace & enter (7), backspace enter (6)... it didn't login until the password field was correctly empty (by my count)... ie. I still don't believe this is an issue. Whilst I don't recall QA-testing hirsute; the OP in the support query was using 21.04 (hirsute), and I see this issue on my primary box anyway & have for years.. (would be really useful if I could remember when it first appeared!) so I'll add other tags ** Tags added: groovy hirsute impish -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1885530 Title: password doesn't leave dots on being entered To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sddm/+bug/1885530/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

dell [optiplex] 755 (c2d-e8300, 8gb, amd/ati radeon rv610/radeon hd2400 pro/xt) testcase: full disk, no encryption, BIOS, no internet entry of password doesn't leave dots as keys hit (unless I click inside the password area). `sddm` is working exactly as expected, except I'd expect cursor to be inside password area and dots appear if I can type password (how many keys did I press? no indication). as noted before, if I purposely click into password box, it's exactly as I expect. In real use, I've just ignored this issue, so I can't see dots so should I be unsure if I hit an incorrect key, I just backspace ~20 times & re- type password (given without dots I can't see how many characters are displayed) I believe this occurs on many boxes; but I've only recorded on d755-8 & that would mean video card specific maybe? (or requires dual-monitors), but I wonder if it's me ignoring issue.. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1885530 Title: password doesn't leave dots on being entered To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sddm/+bug/1885530/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
