tty always spamming wierd character on the terminal

Post by Dhela Frank »

Greetings,
i've been using mint for sometime now(maybe 2yrs), and recently i think i have problems with my graphics unit(made an earlier post).
Due to the gpu issue, i considered the unresolved a challenge :-D , and i decided to switch to tty(i boot via recovery mode). After making tty my default systemctl, each time it opens up, where am to type in username and password, there's always this ^@ character spamming the screen i can't type as it fills in the text.
I thought of a faulty hardware( ofcourse the keyboard) i disconnected the laptop keyboard and used my external keyboard which isn't faulty(for sure), same spamming persists. Any help will be appreciated.
