"set linenumber" doesn't seem to be working.
GNU nano version 2.5.3. LinuxMint 18.02 (old because my Ubuntus -- 17.04 and 18.04 -- are broken.)
Is there another way to do it?

  • No it does not. They suggest exactly that thing that doesn't seem to work. I invite you to read my OP again. I meant ""set linenumber" doesn't work."

  • I have since upgraded my nano to 2.9.3 (thanks to a deb I found for Ubuntu 17.04 online somewhere). I had the installer script keep my edited nanorc, which included the added "set linenumber" as well as an uncommented "set constantshow." Of course all the foregoing were displayed in a nano Without line numbers.
