When I enter the password for my login it works

I have not set any other password other than login

    Welcome to SO. Your problem seems to be related to Ubuntu privileges or package installation. The fact that the affected package is some programming language does not make it a C or C++problem.

Check if your user is in the sudo group by using this command.



grep -Po '^sudo.+:K.*$' /etc/group


If your user is not in the root group you'll have to login as root and add your user to the sudo group by typing



usermod -a -G sudo yourusername




  • -a will append this new group to the rest of the existing groups


  • -G is used to specify the list of groups to add
