For diagnostic purposes please provide the output that you receive for the commands

thank you Manfred for the quick reply: once i start with the terminal and insert a command it request my password but i am facing a problem typing in my password. do you have a clue why i can't type in my password in the command screen? thanks

You have to be aware that you do not get any feedback when typing the password. No echo, not even '*' placeholders.
Just 'blind' type the password and press the enter key.

thanks again it is working now. this what i received from the terminal:
