| Message-ID | <yimoh-1Gj-9@gated-at.bofh.it> |
Hello, I am looking for a Linux distribution that is stable and have just installed Debian 9 as a windows 7 replacement. The first major issue I have come across is when I try to install an app and I'm asked for the password no characters are entered when I type. This also happens when I try to enter a search term from the start menu and also a search term when looking for widgets. Can someone help please. I am a newcomer to linux. Thanks Nige

Can you provide a screenshot? Not sure if they are allowed on the mailing list :-) What desktop environment are you using? Does your keyboard input work otherwise? Generally linux systems are stable, I assume you are using debian--since you are in this mailinglist.

the characters are not intended to show, not even a string of **** .... it is for security. I don't know if it can be changed does it accept the password?

Debian 10 was released just a few days ago, you might want to give it a try instead. Kind regards, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser
