So I go to run synaptic as usual and a message box pops up:Failed to run synaptic as user root.

The underlying authorization mechanism (sudo) does not allow you to run this program. Contact the system administrator.I tried in a terminal and I get a scary message from Big Brother:damo is not in the sudoers file.

Help needed in sudo access 32 weeks 4 hours ago

I want to give root access to a user called denielr on server - tsprd01, but do not want to share root password. I have sudoers configured already. He should have all access equal to root.

Behind the scenes: Andrea Veri, the new GNOME part-time System Administrator.

Some days ago Andrea Veri was  chosen by the GNOME Foundation to support and maintain GNOME's IT infrastructure.

His hiring comes at the end of a journey, during which Andrea has shown his technical abilities and passion for GNOME, and could be considered a sort of acknowledgement and thanksfor all the work he's don

sudo (Which I have configured to ask for a password) is rejecting my password (as if I mis-typed it) I am absolutely not typing it incorrectly. I have changed the password temporarily to alphabetic characters only, and it looks fine in plaintext, in the same terminal.

When you run any command as root, the password is remembered for 15 minutes by default. If you want to change the password remember time, just open the terminal and run: sudo visudo

The sudoers file will be opened in the terminal (the text editor will be nano in Ubuntu and vi in Arch Linux).
