That this ever worked in kdesu was a bug IMHO. kdesudo (kdesu is now a link to it)
Here's why sudo "id && whoami" -> sudo: id && whoami: command not found Even su complain. To do what you want with su one has to use su -c "comamnd1 && command2" There is a -c (pass to shell) command. As su always asked for a password, implementing - c was is necessary. Sudo does not ask the second time, so sudo command1 && sudo command is the natural thing. Task of kdesu and kdesudo is run a/one command as root. Not to emulate part of the shell (aka implement &&). As sudo does not have -c and su used it for &&, || etc task. I would suggest that this is the right fix. Don't reimplement kdesu's non unixish behaviour. -- command chaining with "&&" doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157043 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
