Bug Description
Binary package hint: sudo
sudo works well for every command i use, but one time i use: "sudo tar xvzf *.tgz -C /", i can't use sudo anymore, in whatever way you imagine (sudo su -, sudo nano hello.txt, etc.).
I get this error message: "sudo: can't open /etc/sudoers: Permission denied"
Until now (it happens to me already 3 times), i have to reinstall (k)ubuntu, to solve that problem. What i tried to install/extract with tar is: http://
Even as root (in Recovery-mode) i can't use sudo, i get the same message as described earlier.
To post a comment you must log in.
I checked the permission of the sudoers file as well:
"-r--r----- 1 root root 403 2006-11-20 14:19 /etc/sudoers", so it doesn't seem to be a problem with the permissions IMHO.
