No output text when updating mint, is that a problem? [on hold]












-2














When trying to update, it looks like this:




~ $ sudo aptitude update




[sudo] password for (user): 

(my pc) ~ $


There is no output displayed.



I am pretty sure this is a result of this code that I entered in the terminal because I wasn't able to authenticate files.




sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*



sudo rm -rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*`




Is it a problem that I get no output text and how could I get output text back?
