Can't type into console using minicom

[Robert Moskowitz]

I have connected to the console using my USB serial interface with minicom:

minicom -b 115200 -D /dev/ttyUSB0

I get all the output streaming past of the boot information. I then go
to type the login in and nothing. No input.

So I suspect I have something wrong with the minicom settings. I do get
good output. No input.

Hope you can help!

hi Robert !!
check the baud rate , test the connection and do the command ls
/dev/tty* to check that is recognized by the OS

I am using 115200 that I have in an email from back aways as the speed
to use for Cubie console.

In what way to test the connection? When I connect with

minicom -b 115200 -D /dev/ttyUSB0

I get the console system messages. Thus I know the connection is
working. At least RX!

And I figured out /dev/ttyUSB0 by doing a 'ls /dev/tty*' and looked to
see what is interesting.

Peter Robinson over in Fedora testing told me to use 'screen', as he
gave up on minicom long ago. And that worked. I am getting the
password prompt. Now I have to figure out what the root password is!

Im use the cubian linux dristro and do this to install the USB serial
drivers
