Title: Invoke sudo and present password prompt when permission is denied to write to a file Status in One Hundred Papercuts: Invalid Status in nano: Unknown Status in vim: New Status in nano package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in vim package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: nano If a user can read but not write a file, as often happens with system configuration files, then they need to be root or use sudo to edit the file. If they forget, they won't notice until they're presented with a permission error when attempting to save. This can result in lost work for new users who don't know how to save the edited file elsewhere. Nano should offer to invoke sudo and present the password prompt to gain the elevated privileges needed in these cases.
