Hmm.. I don't know what to say. I can still reproduce this on my machine.. However, I did see it once where the password I typed was hidden, but I couldn't reproduce that anymore either..
Not sure if this helps. But I use grub, and typed 'e' to edit the Linux boot, then I typed 'e' again on the line that reads: kernel ...vmlinuz... root=UUID=... ro quiet splash Then I added "single" at the end of those things. The screen switches to the GUI bootup, then it switches back to the text mode asking for the root password prompt. When I typed the root password, it shows in clear text.. Is there anything I can try to help isolate the problem? Lemme know.
