Re: Sudo



I’m not sure if my messages are making it to the list. I could explain detail, but Googling for the error gives this example:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.tecmint.com/fix-user-is-not-in-the-sudoers-file-the-incident-will-be-reported-ubuntu/amp/

sudo might give you nothing if you now somehow can’t switch or login as root to “fix” the sudo config.

It says I’m not in file or something to that.

I did a net-install and installed with no problems.
The only problem I’m having is when I want to check for updates or install a file, it tells me that I’m not in the sudoers file.
I’m not sure what’s going on, but I’m the only one on the system and should have admin access anyways.
Hope someone has an answer for this problem.


Answering here to the OP, taking into account the other answers in this
thread.

I just installed Debian using netboot, installing with a root password
give me only su to use to log in as root.

Did you install any package which has sudo as dependency?

I would reinstall from scratch and try to log in as root using su.

What error do you get if you do:

$ su --login
