Terminal

Submitted by billisnice on Wed, 2007-07-11 22:21.

I just started using the terminal. When i $ sudo updatedb i get Password[]

i type and type and can not get any characters to move pass the cursor next to the d. in password. It will not let me go past the password by not taking anything i type in. Is there a solution to this?

Thanks

Bill,  That's one of the things us gNu-Bees have to get used to.  When using the terminal, anytime you enter your password at the prompt, you do not see ANYTHING!  Terminal recognizes your input but does not print it to the screen. Just enter your password and press "enter" and the operation will start up. Hope this helps some.                   You've just got to! gottatrieit, that is!
