Something new in Vivid

[QUOTE=cariboo907;13155527]What zika posted is in /etc/bash.bashrc:

I get it now - it was previously in there but set for admin group so the hint didn't show since the switch to sudo group in 12.04

What zika posted is in /etc/bash.bashrc:

# sudo hint
if [ ! -e "$HOME/.sudo_as_admin_successful" ] && [ ! -e "$HOME/.hushlogin" ] ; then
    case " $(groups) " in *\ admin\ *|*\ sudo\ *)
    if [ -x /usr/bin/sudo ]; then
    cat <<-EOF
    To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>".
    See "man sudo_root" for details.

Yeap.

That is a sort of atavism that will, as earlier, disappear soon, I'm sure.

Usually it did not (re)surface in Ubuntu proper.

Old stuff. very old. Make just one successful sudo command or do

 touch ~/.sudo_as_admin_successful

and it will disappear. Delete that file and it will be back again. Successful sudo command makes it again...
What is there to be „fixed“? Learn Your bash better, we old guys did...

As I said .. there was nothing here.

Ha! It was displaying that at the top of terminal when I first booted into Vivid today but after I got updates today including the 3.16.0-24-generic kernel I no longer have that.

Did You update/upgrade from CLI or GUI? If You did from CLI You've issued sudo-command and, hence, see above... If not then, as so many times before, mainly this early in U+1, bash had that atavism removed, for Ubuntu proper way...

I always use CLI. I don't touch the Update-Mangler nor do I get my updates through SPM and I'll take my chances.

Guess so. Good deal!

Full circle... Ready for next round?

I'm pretty sure it was this way for a couple of days at least and I got updates via CLI.
