Please help!!!!! with the terminal prompt.

You need to post the images somewhere (like imgur, perhaps) and post links here.

The "C:" in "file:///C:/Users/Makana/Downloads/IMG_20141106_043138.jpg" indicates you're using a Windows machine, or at least dualbooting.

When we install Ubuntu we are asked for our name and a user name. The installer will offer our first name as a suggested user name.

We also need to put in a name for the computer/system so that it can be recognised if it is connected to a local network. The installer will make a suggestion and the suggestion is: System Product Name. That is right!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That should have been edited by the person who installed Ubuntu into something more meaningful. The name given for the computer appears as part of the prompt in the terminal.

I have several installations of Ubuntu. I use the partition label as part of the computer/system name. Right now I am typing from an install of Ubuntu on sdb8 (partition 8 on the second hard disk) and this is the prompt I get in the terminal.

graham@sdb8-Roll-Dev:~$

So, now you know my user name and the name I have given to this particular installation of Ubuntu. Is it clear now?

At least you know the administrator password. You can now go to System Settings>User Accounts and use the password to change the user name to one of your choosing. Now all that is needed is to find out how to change the Device name that appears in Details.

Regards.

No. It's just an arbitrary "prompt string" - indicating that the terminal is ready to accept any command that you type

You need to fix your image, as it keeps showing up as file not found for this link.
The other posted image link shows up just fine.

Anyway what command are you trying to run?

Listen to what people are saying.
Every terminal has what your seeing.
It's not asking you to input anything specifically.
eg
when I open a terminal I get this (yours will be different depending on your user and computer name).....

glen@Trusty:~$ 

Then if I want, I type in a command and press Enter.
When the command has finished it returns to the command prompt.
eg I type in the command date it runs the command then returns to the command prompt

glen@Trusty:~$ date
Fri Nov  7 17:06:48 AWST 2014
glen@Trusty:~$

From your image in post #14 , you ran a command, it finished and returned to the command prompt for you to run another command if you wish.

You should be able to install OpenJDK Java runtime library using the Software Centre.
