That is strange, it works fine in Ubuntu 18.04. I will try download 20.04 and test it.

Hello! I have the same problem. I use Ubuntu 20.04 Lts. Electerm version 1.3.21. When using the sudo command, this message is issued bash: /usr/bin/sudo: Permission denied
Please fix the problem. Your terminal is very cool!

@tglhteam @nZeus I created a new Ubuntu 20.04 virtual box machine, sudo su works, do you have any special settings you can think of?

Today, May 10, I installed a clean Ubuntu 20.04 system. I didn’t do any special settings at all. In the terminal Gnome, a sudo su works. Installed your program and sudo su does not work. Checked several times. The error is the same: bash: /usr/bin/sudo: Permission denied

Hi @tglhteam
When run lsof -i | grep electerm, can you see your current username, and you run electerm from command line or click the icon? How did you install electerm?

I also tried to enter the directory through Electerm - nothing works. Everything works through the Gnome terminal.

@tglhteam @nZeus I can reproduce this when install from snap, seems related to --no-sandbox param, when run from commandline electerm --no-sandbox, it will be OK, also seems download from relealse page and install with sudo dpkg -i electerm.xxxx.dep would be OK too, anyway I will release new version to fix it, thank you for the feedback.
