Dear Turnkey Support/Community:

My problem is that I get all the way through the setup process and then when I choose to quit the configuration console and I'm presented with the "prestashop login" request, the console won't recognize the @ (at) symbol of the email address.

The specific part of the console login I'm referring to shows the line "Debian GNU/Linux 6.0 prestashop tty1" and then underneath that "prestashop login:" Out of frustration, I have typed every symbol on the keyboard and only Shift + 2 (@) and Shift + 3 (#) are not properly recognized. Specifically, Shift + 2 deletes the entire line and Shift + 3 backspaces one character.

I'm using the latest version of VirtualBox on a Windows 7 32-bit host. I've tried both the 64-bit and 32-bit ovf appliances (also the latest versions). I'm unable to simply paste into the console. I don't seem to be able to install the Guest Additions at this stage.

I've tried two different hardware keyboards and the on-screen keyboard in Windows with the same result. Typing the admin user name (which must be an email address) into the configuration dialog box during the PrestaShop installation works fine, but re-typing the same email address into the regular (black screen) console does not work.

I'm very happy to have found this solution. I'm in awe at the effort involved in making such a complex installation and setup process accessible to everyone. I plan to use the TurnKey Hub to host the website once I complete the development version.

Any help would be appreciated. Right now I feel like I'm the only person to ever get locked out of TurnKey Linux.

Thanks,

Stephen
