Chris, I had some peculiar effects when trying to log in when already logged in! Is that your problem? Further to Paul's reply AND/OR the keyboard is at fault AND your BIOS is using the typematic keyboard input routines, you could try extending the auto repeat speed - Someone may have been playing (this would be evident in other repeated keystrokes). Roger, Or does LINUX handle it's own keyboard input directly from the hardware? If so, there must (I assume) be a key de-bounce routine somewhere, one would hope that one could change the 'comfort' values for this. Further to logging in/out, Can you please tell me if there is a simple way to log out of the GUI (i.e. back to the command prompt) other than turning the graphical login option off?
I used a machine set up with LINUX yesterday. Today I can't log in. As soon as I type root as a login name it tells me "login correct"
Does this mean I have to re-install all over again?
What caused this?
