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.
