This is an older Pavillion dv 8000. Till now it's been happy with 12.04!! Attempting to install opera! the terminal won't allow me to copy and paste commands from a tutorial OK, i can play that game so i type in the commands, get to sudo password for me i guess. IT WON'T ALLOW ME TO TYPE IN MY PASSWORD??? which is entirely numeric!????

appreciate any help!!

Nothing is echoed to the screen when you type your password into a terminal; this is normal. Just type it in and hit Enter.
