I need some help with peppermint os

So I have an old laptop that I’m trying to use, for some reason when it wants me to put password in terminal it won’t take input .to terminal

I was trying to get a browser and when it asked for password to get sudo the terminal wasn’t taking any input to the prompt, I’m on xfce

I had a similar issue with Debian where it wouldn’t log me in

That’s how it’s designed to work. For safety reasons.

Most terminals on Linux don’t show any feedback when you’re typing your password, so that someone looking over your shoulder can’t tell how long or short it is.

It’s still registering it as you type, type your password and press enter and it will work despite not showing anything.

The text doesn’t show up when you type in a password, but it still registers it. Instead of showing asterisks it just doesn’t show anything, but you are entering a password. Just type the password blind and press enter.
