Solution 1
When you use the Terminal and you need to enter your password, it will not show on the screen at all, this is normal practice.
Solution 2
When the terminal asks for your password just type clear without caps lock on. Note that the password is the same as our Ubuntu login password.

Chris Hasiński almost 12 yearsRemember that the terminal WONT echo back asterisks for characters in your password. If you know that and you are completely sure that you put in the right password (for a user with sudo priviledge): try a different terminal (perhaps the one at
alt+ctrl+F1). You can also use GUI sudo (for examplegksudo). As soon as your system is up to date check if the problem is still present and if it is -- report a bug.
