You could add these lines: CODE: # Set Environment for sudo -E. #export EDITOR=vim #export EDITOR=nano
# Make sudo -E the default setting for sudo. # alias sudo='sudo -E' :CODE to the "~/.bashrc" file, so that slightly advanced users can set this up right. Or when given directions to this, all they have to do is uncomment the right lines. At least, this is what I've ended up doing with my system Regards Iain -- "visudo" is completely unusable (/etc/sudoers can only be editted with an external text editor) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/207369 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
