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

You must update your .ssh directory so it contains your github ssh key

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
