That's pretty much a useless response. We're not looking over your
shoulder, and we often need the exact response. Often seeing exactly
what you do may show something that hasn't been discussed, and help
solve the problem.

So in future, please execute commands in the terminal, and then copy
and paste the command(s), all responses, and the following prompt into
your reply email.

So, for example, in response to Marco's request,

I would reply (complete with typo):

charles@hawk:~$ which su
/bin/su
charles@hawk:~$ shich sudo
bash: shich: command not found
charles@hawk:~$ which sudo
/usr/bin/sudo
charles@hawk:~$ type su
su is /bin/su
charles@hawk:~$ type sudo
sudo is /usr/bin/sudo
charles@hawk:~$ 

Thank you.
