phoenix__hi14:33
phoenix__i installed xubuntu on my dell laptop14:33
phoenix__then i added a new user > account type administrator14:34
phoenix__then i deleted the previous account which i had created at the time of installation14:35
phoenix__now i am unable to perform any administrator task with the latter account14:35
phoenix__even though in the users settings it is being shown as administrator14:36
pmjdebru1jn"define administrator task"14:36
pmjdebru1jndoes sudo -s on a Terminal work14:36
phoenix__when i try to run a command with sudo it says you are not in sudoers list14:36
pmjdebru1jnoh ouch14:36
pmjdebru1jnwhat does `groups` say14:37
pmjdebru1jnand14:38
pmjdebru1jngetent group | grep sudo14:38
phoenix__pmjdebru1jn, i am unable to unlock users settings14:38
bekkspmjdebru1jn: Useless use of grep. Use: getent group sudo14:39
pmjdebru1jnbekks: who cares :)14:39
phoenix__sudo x:2714:39
bekksThe user.14:39
phoenix__sudo x:27:14:40
pmjdebru1jnah, well that your problem14:40
bekksNo, it isnt.14:40
pmjdebru1jnhuh?14:40
bekksThe non-existing entry for the user in the /etc/sudoers file is.14:40
bekksYou dont need to be a member of the sudo group to use sudo.14:41
pmjdebru1jnthat's the standard mechanism AFAIK14:41
bekksThe standard mechanism is an entry in the /etc/sudoers file.14:41
phoenix__there is no /etc/sudoers file on my system14:42
pmjdebru1jnhuh?14:42
bekksphoenix__: Then you dont have sudo installed.14:42
phoenix__bekks, ok there is sorry14:42
pmjdebru1jnbekks: at least standard Ubuntu tools add the admin users into the sudo group, instead of making a sudoers entry... which totally makes sense, as it's very easy to add/remove people from the sudo group14:42
bekkspmjdebru1jn: Then take a close look at the /etc/sudoers file, and you will see an entry for the sudo group.14:43
pmjdebru1jnbekks: yes of course14:43
pmjdebru1jnobviously14:43
pmjdebru1jnI meant the standard mechanism for Ubuntu (not per-se sudo upstream)14:44
bekksAnd that entry is just used to faciliate the usage even more - and its basically not necessary to be a member of the sudo group to use sudo.14:44
pmjdebru1jnwe are in #xubuntu after all....14:44
pmjdebru1jnbekks: of course14:44
phoenix__what should i do?14:45
bekksphoenix__: either add your user to the sudo group and log out and login back in completely, or add an entry to the /etc/sudoers file allowing your user to use sudo.14:45
phoenix__bekks, but that i suppose would require root priveleges14:52
bekksCorrect.14:52
bekksAnd the user that was created during the installation should have sudo privileges. If it doesnt, you need to use a live CD, boot it, fix it, and continue.14:53
phoenix__bekks, the user that was created during install was deleted14:55
bekksThen you need to follow the instructions given above.14:56
phoenix__bekks, how to fix14:56
bekksphoenix__: either add your user to the sudo group and log out and login back in completely, or add an entry to the /etc/sudoers file allowing your user to use sudo.14:57
pmjdebru1jnphoenix__: if you don't know how to rescue a system using a live cd... a reinstall might be better suited14:58
pmjdebru1jnhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery#Add_User_to_a_Group this might help14:59
bekksReinstallation isnt needed at all.15:00
pmjdebru1jnof course it's not, but not everybody has the skill to do a recovery :)15:01
pmjdebru1jnphoenix__: that page I posted has some guidelines on how to do a recovery15:02
phoenix__pmjdebru1jn, bekks thanks a lot, i though i would have to reinstall15:04
