 Hi Jesse,

 As a workaround, login on a terminal other than the console, or add the
 following to the sudoers configuration with visudo:

 	Defaults !use_pty

 The default for use_pty changed in sudo 1.9.14:

 	The use_pty sudoers option is now enabled by default. To restore
 	the historic behavior where a command is run in the user’s
 	terminal, add Defaults !use_pty to the sudoers file. GitHub
 	issue #258 <https://github.com/sudo-project/sudo/issues/228>.

 Kind regards,
 + Kimmo
