well, i thought that some of what i remembered form v10.3 and working with the terminal would come back, but the terminal is not cooperating.
i sudo user id and i get the reply: command not found. but! sometimes i will get the root password line. when i enter the root password i get the reply: command not found. if i try to sudo again i get command not found.
now i think i did a real boneheaded thing; i edited the sudo in yast to say that i run as root under my user id. i can't get back to "all" like it originally was. please don't chastise me too harshly for this. i can always reinstall the os.
btw, i have opensuse setup in a dual boot and the neat thing is that it comes up first. i was very proud of myself until this mess.
anybody have any ideas of fixing this problem short of reinstalling opensuse? remember, i'm a newbie so you will have to hold my hand most of the way. i also have another question, but i'll reserve that for later.
cheers, dwain
I had a kde/sudo problem a while ago, this is how I repaired the problem extracted from my old listmail:- "I force uninstalled sudo, deleted all trace of sudoers and then reinstalled." I recall using rpm -e --nodeps sudo-[whatever version you have] and then (just tested it) zypper in sudo to reinstall. To delete all traces of sudoers, I think you have to delete /etc/sudoers only. Find the correct version for sudo with rpm -qa|grep sudo and to be safe do this from a root console or konquerer in super user mode just in case you have problems with the reinstallation of sudo.
