Not able to enter command in CLI

[sanddune008]

Hi,

I am a Linux noob...
Now i am in the CLI , opting CTRL+ALT+F7 how do i proceed with typing, in command prompt ?

Observation:

I see the cursor blinking....It doesn't take anything typed.

Thanks in advance

I thought CTRL+ALT+F7 was to return to the GUI.
while CTRL+ALT+F1, 2,3,4,5,or 6 will give you a full
screen terminal. You could look in your menu for a terminal
window. Does it also fail to accept commands?

The virtual consoles in Fedora (Red Hat may be different) are at alt+ctrl+f2-f6. You will have to login with your usual username and password. Good Luck!

Am i doing something wrong....

Observation:
CTRL+ALT+F7 ----> Takes me to the CLI screen
CTRL+ALT+F1 -----> Takes me back to the GUI

Terminal window does take inputs......
@CLI cursor blinks and doesn't take inputs?

Thanks all in advance...

That's not a command line. You can't just go to alt+ctrl+f2? That should ask you to login.
