Your password wont show up in a terminal. just type as if everything were normal and then hit enter. should work.

Hmmm, sudo uses your User password not you Root/SuperUser one. Yes it doesnt show you *s or anything so no-one can peek over your shoulder and get a clue about how long your password is ;)

thanks for all your answer but now it says"E:enable to lock the administration directory (var/log/dpkg) are you root?

Please try this command, is a terminal way to update your system.
We using this to test if you are still in trouble.

Open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories → Terminal and type:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

(if the system ask you a password give your user password, you will not see nothing when you type it, then press enter)

Hope this helps

Have you created youre own terminal account. Because I had the same problem and then I made a profile, enter my pass word and it worked.

Hi :)

Have you been able to test the new Ubuntu 10.04 before it gets officially released?

Trying it as a LiveCd or as an extra dual/multi-boot would be ideal. Developers and everyone are keen to try to iron out any problems before 10.04 gets officially released so you might find faster & more effective answers to your bug reports which would make 10.04 work better on your system for you

Thanks and regards from
Tom :)
