Since we are currently working in Belgium, our keyboard layout is set to Belgian layout. I have installed Ubuntu 20.04 on my lab and installed and configured the xRDP Package. However, if you are using a non-english keyboard, it might happen that when reconnecting to your xRDP session, you have reached the lock screen of your Ubuntu System (the gdm login page) and you digit your password and you discover that you receive a message… Authentication failed.Īfter a quick investigation, you will notice that the keyboard layout to be used in the lock screen (through xrdp session) is English while your system is configured for non-English keyboard layout.
