Question

Postfix prompts not happening

Posted March 19, 2017 3.3k views

I am following the tutorial to install postfix in Ubuntu 16.04, but it stops on the first screen. Any idea? I just installed Lemp Ubuntu 16.04 with success. Using Putty to run the commands. Can’t get out of the first screen and then i can’t login because of the processes running inside… i think.

What do you mean by “it stops on the first screen”? First screen of what, when you did what?

    Hello! Yes.
    The first screen of postfix’s configuration procedures.
    After these two first commands:

    sudo apt-get update
sudo DEBIAN_PRIORITY=low apt-get install postfix

    It does not give me any options. Can’t move from this screen. And then i have to end the session or the sessions ends by itself. Immediately i can’t go back in. I have to wait a while before the server allows me in again.

    My first droplet is nice http://radha.org.br.

    Thanks!

Yez. When i run the first sudo command it shows the list and the ‘ok’ in the end. I will try your suggestion. Thank you for caring.
