Post subject:  Can't enter password

Trying to install knoppmyth and everything seems to be installing fine.When I get to step 3/5 enter password,I can't do anything.It's funny because I could put in username.I can't type anything.
I read about people having keyboard problems , lights going crazy but no lights on mine.

Let me guess, you have a USB keyboard. There are known (and I believe unresolved) problems with USB keyboards and knoppmyth. Try a PS2 keyboard.

nope I believe the answer is simpler than that. You don't see the password as you are entering it. not stars or nothing that is normal. just enter it and proceed. I believe you will find that it works.

It is a PS2 keyboard
I tried to enter a password and then proceed, but that doesn't work.
I checked the cd and the burn,downloaded it a couple times and checked it.

Does the box have the focus when you type? If not put your mouse over the box and then type.

I'm also brandnew to all this KnoppMyth / MythTV stuff. Because I also want to build me a HTPC I'm trying to install KnoppMyth on my notebook as a test for myself and to get familiar with Linux based software. The installation of KnoppMyth goes good until a have to type in a password. No matter what I'm trying here seems to go. All I see is a blinking box that stays in the first position.
Anyone? :oops:

Cheers

Wally
