Feb 24, 2010
i am using ubuntu 9.10 .i recently installed vmware server in ubuntu. since during installation of vmware i gave default values the default username for vmware server is root. inorder to access vmware server i changed the root password in terminal. i gave the following command in terminalsudo password rootit prompted for new password and i entered the password. after that i accessed the vmware server using the username as root and password. it worked fine,i created a virtual machine and it worked fine.now the problem is when i restarted the system and login to vmware server i was unable to access virtual machines created previously. also now i am not able to use sudo command .the following message shows up. sudo: must be setuid root. may be this prob is due to the command i gave sudo password root. can someone help me resolve this prob and go back to my previous state.before when i used to give a sudo command it asked for my account password.

Whenever I try to use the sudo command in the terminal I get the message unable to resolve host, then my computer name. Here's some command line output with some files which I think may be causing the problem. I have Operating Systems homework and need sudo
steve@steve-laptop:~$ sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf
sudo: unable to resolve host steve-laptop
steve@steve-laptop:~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf

I've been trying to add (via terminal) a ppa:<name> from this site (finally got around to getting a Wacom Bamboo), but every time I try to do as it suggests, I get the following error:
Code:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hughescih/ppa
sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found
I found I already had this installed, but to double-check,I've uninstalled and re-installed it to make sure, and still to no avail. I wasn't sure if I'm still missing something or what the deal may be.

so i was removing softwares using ubuntu software center.. games i don't play and cheese webcam booth because it was not working, i intended to re-install it. after my installation, half my icons (i have extensively personalized my desktop) changed to defaults. The themes page said 'theme will not be as it appears because default.kde is not installed'. i did not remove any such package. just games. and furthermore, i installed a kubuntu plasma desktop system which i read in a thread contains the file default.kde but that hasn't helped and i still don't know what do to..

Ubuntu won't let me use the sudo command in terminal. If I try, sudo: must be setuid root pops up. Also, if I try any tasks that require permission, the authentication box pops up and then disappears within one second.

I was attempting to install the fglrx driver on my new ubuntu insallation, following a guide I found from google. At one point it says I need to login as super user, so I tried and no matter how many times I try it just keeps saying authentication failed. I even tried typing in my password with 1 finger, multiple times, every single time, authentication failed. So I decided to try the sudo command with fdisk -l, worked flawlessly. Tried the su command again, authentication failed, I have no idea what in heck is causing this but it just won't stop happening.

I recently installed Ubuntu 10.04LTS on my computer and realized I wanted to give 11.04 a try. So, using the Update Manager both times, I applied all updates then upgraded to 10.10 then to 11.04.
Here's where the problem starts. Grub loads fine. I choose Ubuntu. I briefly get a purple splash screen then a black screen with some text that looks like Ubuntu is trying to load (I've attached a picture of this screen). This screen flashes a couple times then stays up and nothing happens afterwards. I can input text and commands but I get no response. Not even an "invalid command". The only thing I can do is press CTRL+ALT+DEL and my computer will reboot.
I have Ubuntu installed alongside Windows 7 on a 50Gb partition (plenty right?), AMD 64-bit dual core processor, and an ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics card. This is on an HP Pavilion dv3 laptop.

On my Ubuntu server I'm running into an issue that I've never seen before even though I've been using Linux for many years. Basically sudo is not finding a command located in my path. Here is a transcript illustrating the problem.
Code:
prg ~: echo $PATH
/opt/ruby/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
prg ~: sudo echo $PATH

Code:
sudo shutdown now
command does not shut the computer down
When the command is typed a, all the programs are closed and proceeds to shut down. But after some time, screen gets stuck(plymouth animation stops moving). But the computer is still working. Fan is running , Power LED is on. LED showing hard disk usage blinks at equal time interval. There is no problem in shutting down using the button on panel. So I suppose it is not a hardware problem. More over there is no problem in windows. The graphics card is Nvidia Geforce 7300GS. I am using proprietary Nvidia driver.

I have written a script that must be run as root, but at one point in the script there is some library configuration which should not be run as root. So my question, is there a command that runs another command as not root when root? (If that makes any sense..)

In Red Hat, suppose if root user wishes to give a privilege to run the fdisk command to a user named sam.And he makes appropriate configuration changes in /etc/sudoers file. Now when sam wishes to run the fdisk command, then he has to issue:
Code:
[sam@system43~]$sudo /sbin/fdisk -l
Password: But in ubuntu, after the same configuration being done, what sam needs to do is:
Code:
[sam@somesystem43~]$sudo fdisk -l
Password: ***
That means, in ubuntu the user need not type the full path of the command. I wish to know how can I make red hat system work like ubuntu as far as the sudo usage is concerned.
