Re: [orca-list] sysadmin help

["Milton" <milton tomaatnet nl>]

Hello Jim,

The result of the sudo command is:
 sudo -h | -K | -k | -L | -l | -V | -v
usage: sudo [-bEHPS] [-p prompt] [-u username|#uid] [VAR=value]
            {-i | -s | <command>}
usage: sudo -e [-S] [-p prompt] [-u username|#uid] file ...

After the command "% sudo synaptic" the result is "cannot find command" . I 
tried to translate from Dutch.

Milton,

Can you try running sudo from within a gnome-terminal and tell us what
the output of the sudo command is?

alt+f2: gnome-terminal
(inside the terminal)
% sudo symaptic
<what happens here>

Also, please know that you can use other tools like aptitude or
apt-get to manage packages.

Hope that helps,

Jim
