[SOLVED] When a package installer pops up i can't type in it - Boobeess - 10-11-2014

So I want to download steam but when the package install window opens and asks for my password I cant type in the window. It doesn't even recognize the keyboard (laptop) ??? Any body have the same problem??? Cant live without STEAM

Hi Boobeess,

Are you installing Steam from here?
Menu > All > Install Additional Software

What happens if you enter the password and hit enter? I'm not sure exactly what you're seeing but sometimes when entering a password in linux nothing is displayed on the screen, not even dots.
