Everything has been working great until today, about 20 minutes ago. When I turned on my PC, it asked for may PW, which it only ever does if it goes to sleep, but I shut down last night. That's just the start though. When I entered my PW, it got jumbled up. For the sake of the example here, lets say my PW is two words with numbers in the middle. Big42069Tree as a hypothetical. When I entered it, I noticed my num lock was off, which I told it to keep on at start up.
No problem, I turned it on and entered my PW again, but it jumbled it up. It entered it as Bi69420Treeg. This is NOT what I typed in, but nbd, I got logged in and then my internet wouldn't connect. It kept asking for PW, which was already saved and it hasn't asked me for that in ages. No matter what I did, nothing worked. So I powered off and started up again, and my num lock was off and the PW I entered was jumbled up again. Bi69420Treeg. Not Big69420Tree. Now, I am not immune from making mistakes, but this was not me. I typed it correctly and even confirmed. I would post the video, but I don't want to actually expose my PW so I won't. But I verified I typed correctly. Anyone know what's going on? Anyone have anything similar happen to them> Is there a fix? I don't want to enter my PW at launch, and I want it to enter the text as I typed it, not fucked up like ti has been.
Edit: Updating to 44 and the move from SDDM to Plasma login manager is why I had to login again. Thanks, everyone, I appreciate it. The PW jumble was caused by my num lock being off, and it caused the cursor to move but I hadn't noticed it. Now that I have my settings restored, everything is working just right.
