setting up on ubuntu with deprec

[Josh]

i am trying to set up a rails app on a fresh install of ubuntu for the
first time with the deprec gem. i was following the steps in the
peepcode video and everything seemed to be going fine until about 10
minutes into "cap install_rails_stack" it says:

[192.168.1.63] executing command
** [out :: 192.168.1.63] [sudo] password for deploy:

an then it just hangs. when i press ctrl-c to stop it, this is what i
get:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/capistrano-1.4.1/lib/capistrano/
command.rb:41:in `sleep': Interrupt

i tried starting over, but i never get very far on anything now.
anytime it needs a sudo password it just stops and i have to escape
out of the process.

any ideas?

Add this to your deploy.rb:

set :sudo, "sudo -p Password:"
