Since no one answered with the solution here it is:
Apparently when you create new user using useradd
and you don’t pass -s /bin/bash
new user has some weird shell…
So to fix it just run: chsh -s /bin/bash username
(change shell command).
If you can’t type while in “weird shell” run bash
first.

when I press < (<) >(>) appears. Even when I paste "< " it changes to “>”. What’s the problem and how to fix?
Hello! <br> <br>I have (almost) the same issue, but switching keyboard didn’t seem to help me. I’m using a spanish keyboard in any case, and the same problem happens when connecting through SSH from Linux or from Mac. <br> <br>The particular problem seems only with non-root users in Ubuntu 12.04.3 x64. We have another couple of droplets using Fedora, and this problem doesn’t occur. <br> <br>In Ubuntu, root console is just fine, but non-root user’s console seems misconfigured or something: <br> <br>- Up/Down/Left/Right keys just print out: ^[[A^[[B^[[D^[[C <br>- There seems to be no command history (or maybe it’s because pressing Up key just doesn’t seem to work) <br>- Console prefix should look like: [<user>@<hostname> <path or directory>]$, but it only shows a “$” sign. It shows no username, no path, nothing. <br>- TAB to complete commands/paths/file names, doesn’t work either. <br>- Aliases like ll (for ls -l) are not configured by default. <br> <br>Do yo have any ideas of what the problem could be? <br>I created the users using: useradd -m -c “User Name” someuser <br> <br>Thank you very much in advance!
Yes this is a problem, download a SSH client like PuTTY for Windows or iTerm for Mac.
Solved by switching my keyboard to the American one.
I can’t type the “@” sign in console and de facto I can’t login and I can’t do anything. <br>Copy and paste is disabled or doesn’t work, too. <br> <br>I just signed up and pointed my domain to DigitalOcean but the start is a nightmare till now with that big issue. <br> <br>I have the same VPS - Ubuntu 12.04.
Looks like you have the same problem as described here
