I've recently switched from Windows to Kubuntu 24.04, but I'm facing a problem with the Bash console. Whenever I try to install programs through the terminal, it asks for a password, but I can't seem to enter it. I've tried various methods, including copying and pasting the password, but nothing works. I'm unsure if there's an issue with the console or if I'm doing something wrong. Can anyone help?

It’s important to note that when you enter your password in Bash, you won’t see any characters or asterisks appear. Just type it out and hit enter, and it should work fine.
If entering your password doesn't help or if you often forget it, you can consider running sudo commands without a password. Here's a handy guide on how to set that up.
Make sure you’re using the right password. If you’re running a command like "sudo apt ...", you should be entering your user account password. This password is typically the same one you use to log into your account, not the root password.
Also, double-check what commands you are trying to run. If you can provide the specific commands and their outputs, people might be able to guide you better.
