           Summary: command monitor does not accept password or any text on
                    second line: password
           Product: konsole
           Version: 1.3.2
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: smcneill pacificcoast net


Version:           1.3.2 (using KDE 3.2.3, Mandrake Linux Cooker i586 - Cooker)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.1 (Mandrakelinux 10.1 3.4.1-4mdk)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.8.1-12mdk

For days I've been unable to log on as root in the konsole command line. I enter 'su' press enter and the password: line comes up. However, no text is accepted so am unable to enter my password. I try to reopen the Konsole again and again, but there is no change. Without root privileges I am effectively shut out of the linux install features!!
