I'm after a fresh centos stream 9 install as minimal install, with only English keyboard and only root user.

After installing, I rebooted and got to the login screen. Trying to type "root" for the username, all I'm getting is squares instead of the letters. Obviously login fails. Numbers are shown correctly.

Example of my problem

I'm clueless as I'm new to linux.

Thank you all very much in advance for the help.

  • without exacly knowing what went wrong: without any way of logging into the machine troubleshooting this will be quite difficult. You'll most likely be better off installing fresh... – MoWo Jan 08 '22 at 15:25
  • Or alternatively you could try logging in via SSH if you already completed the network setup and have enabled sshd – MoWo Jan 08 '22 at 15:25
  • SSH isn't an option, didn't set-up... Its the third time i installed it already, every time it's the same problem – Harry Zalessky Jan 08 '22 at 15:28
  • My guess would be fonts are missing maybe - try a regular install rather than minimal, given you're new to Linux? – shearn89 Jan 13 '22 at 09:12
