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.

That is possible, The console and X use different configuration methods. A quick search showed that for the console you should edit /etc/vconsole to include: KEYMAP="dvorak" Since this file is read by systemd, it's probably best to reboot and then try again.

Ok, i guess that's possible. Quite rare, though. mvg, Guus
