| Hi Greg,
I did some more research and found out this:
So this:
su -c 'echo "${USER} ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL" > /etc/sudoers.d/${USER}‘
from setup-linux will never work on Ubuntu since there is no root password set anyway.
I think the whole setup-linux is not needed on Ubuntu since it comes with sudo enabled after a default install.
However, I also researched on how to pass a password to sudo and created this test.sh:
———— #!/bin/bash
echo "welcome!" read -sp 'Your password:' PASSWORD echo $PASSWORD | sudo -S whoami ————
which prints „root“ on my Ubuntu
Does all this make sense?
Kind regards,

Hi Greg,
sudo is there:
lars@Ubuntu-2404-VirtualBox:~$ sudo whoami [sudo] password for lars: root lars@Ubuntu-2404-VirtualBox:~$
The setup-linux script „asks“ for a password but doesn’t wait for me to enter it. It continues instead saying „su: Authentication failure“:
sudo command is already present.
Adding lars to sudoers...
Please enter the root user's password.
Password: su: Authentication failure
Kind regards,
Lars

What particular version of Ubuntu are you using? I suspect it's missing sudo or another command needed to install.
GC Hi dear GNUsteppers,
today I tried installing GNUstep on a fresh Ubuntu 24.04 copy.
For this I used the command found on the GNUstep website:
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gnustep/tools-scripts/master/gnustep-web-install-dev | bash
However the script failed to read my password, here is the output of the script:
lars@Ubuntu-2404-VirtualBox:~$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gnustep/tools-scripts/master/gnustep-web-install-dev | bash

IMPORTANT!
You must update your .ssh directory so it contains your github ssh key
Begin setup for linux
sudo command is already present.
Adding lars to sudoers...
Please enter the root user's password.

It looks like the script isn’t waiting for me to enter the password. I had a look what is going on and found this script:
setup-linux:
#!/bin/sh
export USER=`whoami`
if [ ! -e /usr/bin/sudo ]; then
echo "Installing sudo..."
if [ -e /usr/bin/apt ]; then
su -c "apt install sudo"
else
su -c "rpm install sudo"
fi
else
echo "sudo command is already present."
fi
if [ ! -e /etc/sudoers.d/${USER} ]; then
echo "Adding ${USER} to sudoers..."
echo "Please enter the root user's password."
su -c 'echo "${USER} ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL" > /etc/sudoers.d/${USER}'
else
echo "${USER} is already a member of sudo users."
fi
In this script I see the line:
echo "Please enter the root user's password.“
followed by su -c which I think needs the password.
However, the script isn’t waiting for me to enter the password. I am not that of an expert in bash, but shouldn’t be there some sort of „read“ in between both commands? Or I am missing something here?
Kind regards,
Lars
