sudo problems

[lawmanuk@…]

Hi,

The sudo command doesn't seem to work for stuff that needs admin priviliges.

the only way i can get them to work, is by using su command.

this creates various permission problems later on, as is the case with programs such as truecrypt and other instances when i've needed sudo.

is it possible to simply re-enable it, like in other distros?

thanks

Hi,

sudo is enabled only on Live CD sessions and not on installed system.

Here it is. Type the following command as root user:

# visudo

Add the following line, replace username with desired name:

username ALL=(ALL) ALL

Save and exit. That's all.
