Can't find "sudo gedit" alternative

[User 18618]

Indeed, please don't escalate the privileges of text editors. Use one of these (identical) commands instead:

Code:

sudo -e || sudoedit

If you're using Bash, try this:

Code:

printf '%b' "export EDITOR=gedit\nexport VISUAL=gedit\n" | tee -a ~/.profile
. ~/.profile && echo $EDITOR $VISUAL
sudo -e /path/to/file
