Re: [orca-list] sysadmin help

[Jim Barbour <jbar barcore com>]

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
