sudo not working in konsole
Asked by
n2fastbikes
The user permissions for sudo are not working. For example, when trying to edit or even read the grub bootloader file in Kubuntu 8.04 KDE4 as a normal user:
user@laptop:~$ cd /boot/grub
user@laptop:
[sudo] password for user:
user@laptop:
cat: menu.lst: Permission denied
user@laptop:
Even though I supply the root password nothing happens, i.e., vi is not invoked. However, if I logon to a command console as root, I can edit the files, etc. How do I correct the permissions?
Thanks in advance for any help.
