localhost login
I installed mandrakelinux 10.1 but when I tried to reboot I got the black screen ask me for localhost login , i typed my username that I created in the installation but nothing happen, I'm new in linux .
Thank you for your help |
Did it not then give you a password prompt after you typed your username and pressed enter? If so, then whilst typing your password in, it won't appear or show up stars as with Windows, simply type your password in and then hit enter.

When you say nothing happened, surely something must have happened? Did you get any error messages, e.g. "Login incorrect"? You could also try logging in as root with the password you set during installation.

localhost login:
I shoulb be more explicit in my question, I got this when I tried to login
Mandrekelinux release 10.1 (Official) for i586 Kernel 2.6.8.1-12mdk on an i686 / tty1 localhost login: and then I typed mi user name that I created during the Installation after that I got this: Password:I tried to typed my password where the linking point is but I could not do it , i have to hit enter and then I typed my password but I got this Login incorrect. |
Are you sure your username was correct? You said that you could not type in your password, do you mean that when you typed it nothing appeared? That's normal and that's what fouldsy meant in his/her post. Maybe you typed your password incorrectly? Did you try also logging in as root?

When you see that screen, you need to enter your username and password. Were you expecting a graphical login screen?

At the login prompt: type in your username and hit enter.
When it asks for a password, type it in - you won't see it, but it'll be there all the same - and hit enter. Make sure the caps lock key is off ;) You then get a "login successful" message, at which point you might want to type "startx". You can use the Control Centre to automatically log you in to X. |
