how do i set askpass variable?
I keep getting a message telling me to setup SUDO_ASKPASS, bu I don't know how to do it. From what I've read so far it could be upper case or lower case and set in an environment variable or done in sudoers. I would like it to be permanent from one logon to the next. I need the correct syntax and commands. Can you help? I am running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
