dear madam From where should i give that command? I am not able to log in into any terminal to execute commands.
I can log into the system using ssh only. Or i can access the filesystem using knoppix. The login prompt reappears each time i type in the username and press enter.No password prompt appears after the login prompt! The login prompt reappears after some time. --- Usha Nair <usha.nair1 at gmail.com> wrote: > try to login using like > sudo root > > On 8/9/06, Hashir <hashipoo3 at yahoo.com> wrote: > > > > Hello All > > Disto: Gentoo > > Kernel : 2.6.14 > > > > I am unable to log in to gentoo.
