Re: Konsole Password error

Assuming you have *ubuntu installed.

When you are prompted for a password in a Konsole, you type in your password, the one you established as the user who did the installation.

Re: Konsole Password error

1)The password does not appear. You can type it in - but nothing will show.

2) Linux is case sensitive so you need to input: sudo not Sudo

3)There is no package available from the repository called gvlc. Is it just vlc?

Re: Konsole Password error

You are aware, yes, that you don't see the password as you type it? That is be design, else someone could watch over your shoulder and see your password.
