Re: SOLVED Fluxbox password limitation?

I discovered that the left and right arrow keys do not work in the password field. Keying in my password involves moving the cursor to the left at certain points by means of the left arrow key. The arrow keys do have an effect when keying one's password on the command line, however. Very strange :| ...

Re: Fluxbox password limitation?

Oh, I didn't know it was GDM. Thanks. :D
Anyway, I am able to login at a console and do a startx.
The problem with that scheme is when the
screensaver asks for my password and doesn't
like my long one :cry:

SOLVED Fluxbox password limitation?

I have a 27 character-long password. I can log in from the command line, but I cannot log in from the Fluxbox login manager. It says " User name / password combination not recognised ." When I installed Salix, I used a short password and I was able to log in from the Fluxbox login manager....

Thanks for the info, thenktor.
Maybe they should stop making non-64 bit kernels altogether.
Do they even make 32 bit CPU's anymore? :mrgreen:

Re: Making root encryption easier.

I'm using salix64-fluxbox-13.37.iso and the README_CRYPT.TXT instructions worked like a charm, even with the "HUGE" kernel. I jumped right to the "Combining LUKS and LVM" section. One thing that was odd was that I had to do # mkinitrd -c -k 2.6.37.6 -m ext3 -f ext3 -r /dev/cryptv...

Re: Easy install guide for nvidia

Outstanding. Thanks, thenktor. I chose "No".
Also, I did the "init 3", "install", "init 4" thing.

Re: Easy install guide for nvidia

Great thread and an awesome OS. Slack was my first intro to Linux in 1998 (you always go back to Slack!) Anyway, as a 64-bit user, when the installer asks whether or not to install 32-bit compatibility libraries for openGL , (or some such thing) should I respond with a YES or a NO ? Thanks a million...
