Need to get 642 kB of archives.
After this operation, 1,879 kB of additional disk space will be used.
The question " Do you want to continue? [Y/n]" is not showing and the terminal seems to hang.
I tried to force the installation with “apt-get -y” but this option is not recognized.
user@host:~$ kdesudo apt-get -y install xterm
kdesudo: Unknown option 'y'.
kdesudo: Use --help to get a list of available command line options.

Actually I wanted to replace the KDE-desktop with LXDE because KDE consumes to much system-resources. Tor-browser hangs when I have more then three tabs open and the system is responding slow on this computer. Also the always ‘jumping icons’ beneath the mouse-pointer I do not like in KDE.
So I tried to install LXDE and there the problem with the hanging terminal started.
First I thought that de Konsole causes the hang, so I tried to install the lighter xterm as terminal.
How can I resolve the problem with the hanging terminal (Konsole) when installing software?
Any help is much appreciated.
If you need more information, please let me know.
During gateway-boot I used the option to CNTRL + D and started the gateway without the GUI. And I used sudo instead of kdesudo for installing software.
Problem solved!
Thanks for your help, and thanks Patrick for the link about other DE 's.
