Why "fdisk -l" does not give any output in terminal?

When I do fdisk -l in terminal there is no output? What can be the probable reason? How to fix it?

fdisk

  1. Because fdisk is a menu-driven program for creation and manipulation of partition tables. Therefore it requires sudoers or root access

    try using

    sudo fdisk -l.

  2. You need to prefix the command with sudo, then enter your password. 

    sudo fdisk -l
