/root/.profile is not loaded either with sudo command.

@DanChase These are the symptoms of a wrong value of TERM, but sudo su - should not change TERM. Maybe you're changing TERM in /root/.profile or /root/.bashrc some such, in which case, don't.

| Dec 16, 2019 at 4:38 | comment | added | Dan Chase | I made it here because when I "sudo su -" vi and everything else is messed up (doesn't clear the screen when exiting, colors not showing, a lot is wrong with the terminal which works as a normal user) This came seemingly out of box with ubuntu, and I'm trying to determine from your reply what my fix would be? If I explicity run bash immediately, everything is good, but it feels like something is wrong. | |

| Jan 23, 2019 at 1:09 | comment | added | falsePockets | The thing which didn't work is exactly the same thing OP is trying to do. I am trying to add a directory to the PATH of my superuser. I should not ask a new question, since that question would be a duplicate of this question. | |
| Jan 22, 2019 at 7:45 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | @falsePockets Didn't work for what? You should ask a new question and explain exactly what you're doing. | |

How do I add it to .profile? Do you mean /root/.profile or /home/user/.profile? I tried adding export PATH=$PATH:/mydir to both. Didn't work. I tried without export, that didn't work either.
