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.
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.
