Yes, if you see # at the left of the command you typed (instead of $), then you are already root and don't need to type sudo.
that is a different story and we don't want to confuse.

Hmmm... Well, it actually sounds like your command line isn't able to find the "nano" command for some reason - it sees the file, just doesn't see the program itself. I'm really not sure why that would be, assuming you're sure you typed everything correctly. Unless for some reason nano got uninstalled, or had it's binary renamed or deleted/moved? *Shrug* What do
andCode:ls -l /usr/bin/nano
give as output?Code:dpkg -l | grep nano
Code:
which nano

or you could just
sudo chmod a+x /usr/bin/closearch
you don't need to gainroot for single commands

ohh so whenever i type "chmod", there shouln't be any output? okay. well i think i might've left out something because there was no archlinux-e17in my /usr/bin/..
btw, what does the output mean?
sudo gainroot
cd /home/user/archlinux
chmod +x /home/user/archlinux/archlinux
chmod +x /home/user/archlinux/chrootarch
chmod +x /home/user/archlinux/startarch
exit
cd /home/user/archlinux
./chrootarch
and i got:
Mounting...
using image file: /home/user/MyDocs/archmobile.img.ext2
fs type is ext2
Using ext2 file system
mounting /home/user/MyDocs/archmobile.img.ext2 on loop
.../home/user/MyDocs/archmobile.img.ext2 mounted on loop0
.
..
...
....
mount: mounting /var/run/pulse on /.archlinux/var/run/pulse
failed: No such file or directory
cannot sync; chroot not mounted!
Everything set up, running chroot...
[root@archmobile: /]
btw, what does the output mean?
sudo gainroot
cd /home/user/archlinux
chmod +x /home/user/archlinux/archlinux
chmod +x /home/user/archlinux/chrootarch
chmod +x /home/user/archlinux/startarch
exit
cd /home/user/archlinux
./chrootarch
and i got:

-either it shows that $PATH has a problem
-or the application is not there
-or (less often) there is a naming problem with the binary
Starting to search with ls in all possible directories may
be another solution but I do not like this one.

you don't need to gainroot for single commands
