Help! Cant login to redhat 8.0
 

I am running redhat 8.0 psyche
When i try to login, i cant type and when i do the screen flickers on and off. When i click the mouse button it flickers too! I just bought a logitech cordless keyboard. It was working fine yesterday. It still works on windoze. Is there any way to get to bash, and bypass the logon screen.

Is this on a GUI login?

press ctrl + alt + F6 and you will get to a bash prompt, log in from there, and see what you can do...

Good luck

i used that shortcut to bash you gave me, but i dont know what it means. it reads fatal server error server is already active for display 0 xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server xlib:invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key giving up. xinit: unable to connect to x server xinit: no such process (errno 3): server error. Do you know what i should do now? thanks again.........

I'm not sure, but i think you're having that error because X is already running and it camn't run twice.

I suggest you configure your new keyboard and mouse by typing Xf86config from the command line.
