sudo: statusexplanation |
Forwarded upstream, will discuss it there first. |
Upstream rejected this, and carrying a patch eternally in such a sensitive program is really bad.
Also, on a standard desktop you hardly have to use sudo on a Terminal anyway, thus "wontfix". |

I reopen here. Today we had on ubuntuusers.de THREE new user who asked how they can enter their password inside a shell. All of them thought their keyboard was defect... Please, can we get back to my first proposal. Don't patch sudo, only enhance the message which appears the first time, when you execute a command with sudo.... |

Changing the initial note to this works for me:
To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>"
and enter your password (you won't get any visual feedback).
See "man sudo_root" for details. |

Binary package hint: sudo
Until a user entered his first "sudo" command he sees these lines every time he opens a terminal
--
To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>".
See "man sudo_root" for details.
foo@bar:~$
---
After the first sudo command ~/.sudo_as_admin_successful is created and terminal starts with a simple prompt.
Now my point: I'm reading a lot of forum postings and every other day someone with little experience in linux and shell commands asks the question "I'm trying to execute sudo $command, but when i try to enter my password nothing happens, i can't see what i'm typing and i also don't see asteriks like ***, so is my keyboard dead?".
So please could you add a little sentence, that you can't see asteriks or your password while entering your sudo password. This would reduce the confusion a little bit (if people would read that note ;) |
