Bug Report

Description

Affected module: smartstatus
Version used: git on endeavousOS (arch-based distribution)

How to reproduce

run smartstatus on an arch-based distro and attempt with visudo and smartctl to get it to work (I could not recently, but maybe my brain is just a bit fried).

This is what happens in the terminal on arch currently and then it just hangs there.

I have an issue with visudo, that I need to solve first of all but then I need to figure out why I am not getting the smartctl command result, as well.

On the other hand, it works fine on another arch machine, not sure what is so different on this one.

ah, i am pretty sure you need to set up password-less sudo for this to work...

Got it to work. There was an issue with visudo having an extrafile in it.
