thank you all, gentlemen
here is a scrap from another talk with terminal:
Code: Select all
sehrguey@debian:~$ sudo mkdir 1
sehrguey@debian:~$
sehrguey@debian:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda1 teradisk
bash: sudo: command not found
sehrguey@debian:~$ sudo rm -r 1
sehrguey@debian:~$
which clears apt of all suspicions and this time the odd space was eliminated from 'sudo mount' and I be f***ed if I can see any rexp or misspelling in the command.
Now, to make a short story long (not my fault you asked for it) I am lazy and so as not to type 'sudo mount...' I kept it in a Text Editor file and used to use when needed. It worked OK. Then gnome slowed down immodestly prompting to switch over to Xfce. Now everything is nice except for mounting the usual way.
Noteworthy: when I type the command manually bash is happy and keeps quiet just doing its job. But I am still lazy.
Any idea or suggestion would be dearly appreciated.
yours`
