Advice

  • When the system asks for a password, don't be surprised. This is the same password that you enter when you log in. When entering a password in the terminal, it is not displayed. Just enter your password and hit Enter. If you entered the correct password, the process will continue.
  • There is a "Details" button in the Ubuntu Application Center. Click this button to check the program dependencies (which also need to be downloaded and installed). If there are dependencies, check the boxes next to them and click "Apply changes". Thus, you will protect yourself from errors in the work of some applications.
