Thanks to all, I did find the synaptic tool and just plain forgot about the password characters not acknowledged. Will do the suggestion to make them asterisks.
When in the CLI and presented with a PW prompt - you will NOT see an output representation of keys entered.. No **** or P@ssw0r....
sudo nano /etc/sudoers
I have not upgraded to version 5 yet as I have spent a lot of time customizing what I have.I search Lite software in Control panel and Synaptic was not there. I did a file search for Synaptic and it was not there. I cannot use CLI to install it due to same stated reason.
apt policy synaptic
synaptic:Installed: (none)Canditate: some_number_versionversion table:some_details_on_pkg
sudo apt-get install synaptic
apt-cache
apt-cache showpkg synaptic
apt show pkg_name

[...] I was asked for my password. I could not type in the space provided. Keyboard totally worthless at that point.
