    Password issue

    My OS is Kubuntu 22.04.5; I am listed as 'administrator.
    My password is accepted at start-up/updates etc.
    If I try to install any new software/app from KONSOLE Terminal/Interpretor using :- sudo apt (package name), I cannot enter my password at the 'user password' prompt!
    The keyboard is unresponsive appart from the ENTRY key.
    I hope someone can suggest a reason for this issue? Please keep it simple : I am not a GEEK!

    The password doesn't show when you type it in the konsole; you don't see anything. Type it in and press Enter.

      Thanks SNOWHOG! Should have thought of that; Seems so obvious now. Much appreciated. Have a good day, Tony.

        LOL, you can actually enable password feedback in the terminal if you want it - asterisks instead of the actual keys you enter.

        One would edit /etc/sudoers using the correct method and change this line:
        Code:
        Defaults        env_reset
        to
        Code:
        Defaults        env_reset,pwfeedback
