I have started to use a ubuntu 16.04 server, and set it up exactly the same way as my 14.04 servers (and conceptually like my 10.04 and 12.04 servers)
Now if I run sudo vi I get this error when exiting:
E886: Can't rename viminfo file to /home/kjeld/.viminfo!
My homedir is on NFS and of course root cannot write to that.
Also on my old servers, root cannot write to /home/kjeld/.viminfo but they do not write an error message.
Anyone have an idea on what is new/changed with ubuntu 16.
vi maps to /usr/bin/vim.basic
