From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; Q312461; TeomaBar 2.01; .NET CLR 1.0.3705) Description of problem: After running up2date the system boots normally, except the login screen I only see the login textbox, not the label that says username or password - plus I cannot type any text! So I can't login! I think I may have to reinstall which is not a fun option Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.reboot 2. 3. Actual Results: can't type username and no ok button Expected Results: should have been able to type usersname and proceeded to password screen Additional info:
Assuming you have a problem with the graphical login... Have you tried ctrl-alt-F1, and then the text login? If you can login this way, can you find what packages were updated with up2date and that may have caused the problem? If you suspect one package, could you re-assign this bug report to the corresponding component?
I'll make the assumption that we're talking about GDM (Norman, if you're using KDE, state that in a response, and we'll get the component changed over to kdebase)
Ed, why? GDM is default for KDE, too.
