hello, i have SuSE 8.2, and today when i turned on my computer, i got to the SuSE login screen (graphical, not command-line), and typed my username, and - when im trying to write down my password - it doesnt write anything!
i mean, i choose the "Password" box - and im trying to write - and nothing - it remains blank!
i tryed to move to Command-Line interface (Ctrl+Alt+F1), and wrote my user and pass (in the shell it went fine), and then i tryed to write "kde", and "gnome" too, and it sayed: "can't find the X server" or something like that...
and yes, i tryed "startx", and it sayed "X server is already running".
the last thing i remember that i did is installing the "Blackbox" Windowmanager and the "IceWM" Windowmanager via YaST2 from the SuSE 8.2 CD's.
im desperate...
Can you try to help me???
MANY MANY thanks.

Just type your password as normal and press the enter key.
All you did was upgrade some random piece of software to a security level that doesnt show passwords as you type them.

well, don't you think i've tryed that?
that just DID NOT worked.
anyway, in consle the password that im typing is "invisible" but in the GRAPHICAL Login screen it isn't...

Well, I've had 3 suse systems with invisble passwords in graphical login screens.

Its always logged in anyway.

So log into a console. F1 would be fine.
as root...
telinit 3
startx
delete your user
re-make your user
Try it then.
If doesnt work
try again, only, when your in root, upgrade KDE? you might not have 3.1.3 yet? or 3.1.4?
