Hi

I have recently started using Ubuntu 9.10 afer a long break from Ubuntu and like the look of it, but am having problems using terminal.

Any commands requiring sudo are asking for password as usual but no keyboard entry of my password is allowed, the cursor is flashing but there is a lockup.

It was working fine until this morning, when I did install some updates.

I found a similar problem here but thought it better to start a new thread.

Any help appreciated but I am very much a beginner so please bear with me.

thanks
