Hi,

Whilst installing dependencies for opencv I am having the following issue:

***

sudo apt-get update && apt-get install ffmpeg libsm6 libxext6  -y
Hit:1 https://deb.nodesource.com/node_20.x nodistro InRelease
Hit:2 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy InRelease
Hit:3 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-updates InRelease
Hit:4 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-backports InRelease
Hit:5 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security InRelease
Reading package lists... Done
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), are you root?

***

 

Next trying to run the "su" command my password is not working.

 

Is there a problem?
