wickedmx Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I am trying to install Natit for my nvidia card and am getting stuck at the Terminal phase. I can enter the necessary command lines ok but as soon as I am requested to enter my password the terminal window stops accepting my text. I cannot enter any characters at all. What am i doing wrong?

hecker Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Usually you cannot see the characters as they are being entered. Just type in whatever your password is and press ENTER. That should do it. hecker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ongeloof Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 lol. Just type your pass and press enter lol Think Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wickedmx Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 Tracked the problem to the battery in my keyboard. It kept on skipping characters so, without being able to see what i was typing I had no idea I wasn't entering the password correctly. I assumed that terminal would've displayed something in place of the password but obviously not. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r00ter Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Yeah, if you're ever unsure - really hold the backspace key for a few seconds to make sure you've cleared all the values - because if you've entered one too many characters, you'll still have maybe 1-2 trailing ones, and the pass will still be incorrect.
