What does your /etc/sudoers file look like? Are you in it? That seems to be the issue.
Thanks Brian for answering so fast Here is the content of /etc/sudoers
Defaults always_set_home Defaults env_reset
# Runas alias specification
# User privilege specification root ALL = (All) NOPASSWD: ALL
Also, you do know that you give YOUR password when running commands with sudo.
Yes that is what I understood, but it does not work either. Perhaps I should empty the sudo thing in yast. I tried some tweaking in it but it was no good. my previous SuSE was the 9.3 and there has been a lot of changes since.
YOU, paulus is NOT in the /etc/sudoers file.
As root do a 'visudo' and add this line
paulus ALL = (All) ALL
Well, I could restore things by copying the sudo file from my laptop which had not been upgraded In fact, there were a lot of missing lines which I rewrote in my wrong sudo file : All of these #in the default (unconfigured) configuration, sudo asks for the root password. #This allows use of an ordinary user account for administration of a freshly #installed system. When configuring sudo, delete the two #following lines Defaults targetpw #askfor the password of the target user i.e. root ALL All=(ALL) ALL Then I deleted the paulus entries and rewrote the root entry this way : root. ALL ALL=(ALL) ALL And now everything works fine as before the update.
Then save the file. Now, when you (paulus) runs 'sudo [whatever command]', when it prompts you for a passwd, enter YOUR password.
good luck, brian
