Hi Fish users,
I am planning to switch to Fish. I converted a few of my bash aliases into fish
functions. However, for some reason (unknown to me) it seems that within an
(interactive) Fish shell I am unable to use sudo in combination with Fish
functions.
For example, in ~/.config/fish/config.fish I have defined the following "agi"
function:
function agi
apt-get install $argv
end
The following output explains my problem:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~> agi install fish
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~> sudo agi install fish
sudo: agi: command not found
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~> sudo apt-get install fish

fish is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
So "agi" only works without sudo. I searched Google, but did not find a
solution. I tried to use the fish alias function instead but after restarting
fish the output remained the same. I also added lines like "Defaults
always_set_home" and "Defaults env_reset" to my /etc/sudoers file. However,
that did not help either.
Has someone experienced this before, and how could I resolve this??
Thanks in advance,
Guido van Steen
P.s. I use ubuntu 8.04.
