2016-08-11 14:00:01 Karl-Philipp Richter description According to `man sudo` `sudo -i` is supposed to read `.profile`, but apparently it doesn't since adding `alias ll='ls -la'` to the end of `/root/.profile` causes `ll` to fail with `ll: command not found`, but the alias should be available if `.profile` was read. `root` uses `/bin/bash` according to `/etc/passwd`. ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: sudo 1.8.16-0ubuntu1.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-34.53-generic 4.4.15 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-34-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: openafs ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.1 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Thu Aug 11 04:35:28 2016 InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-12-12 (242 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 15.10 "Wily Werewolf" - Release amd64 (20151021) SourcePackage: sudo UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to xenial on 2016-03-14 (149 days ago) VisudoCheck: /etc/sudoers: Analyse OK /etc/sudoers.d/README: Analyse OK modified.conffile..etc.sudoers: [inaccessible: [Errno 13] Keine Berechtigung: '/etc/sudoers'] modified.conffile..etc.sudoers.d.README: [inaccessible: [Errno 13] Keine Berechtigung: '/etc/sudoers.d/README'] According to `man sudo` `sudo -i` is supposed to read `.profile`, but apparently it doesn't since adding `alias ll='ls -la'` to the end of `/root/.profile` causes `ll` to fail with `ll: command not found`, but the alias should be available if `.profile` was read. `root` uses `/bin/bash` according to `/etc/passwd`. Now, I got it. /root/.profile is only sourced at the first sudo -i after reboot (or maybe display manager (re-)login), not at every following sudo -i - at least in gnome-terminal. If sudo -i is run once when /root/.bash_profile is present it is sourced (and /root/.profile skipped as expected) and if it /root/.bash_profile is removed every following invokation of sudo -i causes /root/.profile to be sourced. That not right, right?
