Hi

I just downloaded Bodhi and went to the terminal to add the updates command. When I get the prompt '[sudo] password for mu:'
to add my password it does not allow me to type any word or letter after the prompt.

Any suggestions please.

Thanks

It won’t show *******. It can be confusing.

Hi Hippytaff,

many thanks that has worked. I did type in my password thinking it would not show even as '***'. I must have typed it in wrong. Anyway
just retyped the password after reading your reply and it worked.

So thanks :-)
