Public bug reported:
1. I press CTRL+ALT+F1 to enter the shell ( I need to shutdown x-server to
install video driver)
2. Shell prompt for user name. I type in my user name and press ENTER.
3. prompted for password, but before I can touch the keyboard, the system acts
as though I have, and cycles through the prompt several times saying the
password was incorrect. Each time it cycles as though I have entered something,
and I have not.
4. Screen blanks and goes back to the shell prompt asking for user name.
I don't have a problem in terminal (CTRL+ALT+T), nor upon reboot, when entering
shell from recovery mode. I also tried different keyboards in the Shell, same
thing. this has only happened recently,
I periodically update my video driver, and until today, the process worked
without a problem.
