Postfix prompts not happening

Posted on March 19, 2017

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.

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.

Is it this tutorial? https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-postfix-on-ubuntu-16-04 What do you mean by “it stops on the first screen”? First screen of what, when you did what?
