Hi,
I am using Linux sun solaris10, SPARC. I am using it through putty in personal computer. After the booting process, I couldn't enter the username. No letters were shown while typing. I have not upgraded my OS, No new software or drivers installed. I haven't connected monitor, keyboard, mouse in it. Just I am using through the PC. I don't know whether is it a hardware issue or software issue.

If you type things, correctly, or incorrectly, do things happen? I.e. Are you already seeing the prompt and then just not seeing the characters you are typing?

If this is the case, then perhaps you only need to turn on local echo in your PC terminal.
