Bug Description
I have made a small discovery, and it might not be the entire issue. I have
tested this on 3 laptops of mine, and it worked.
When you do an 'expert' install, you have the option to create users in the
installer. However, if you do so, you will not be able to run sudo applications
in Gnome. If you do NOT use this utility, the installer prompts you to make a
user account, and this account works. It seems the permissions given by the
'create users' portion of the installer is broken. The errors noted in this
thread: http://
the create users function.
All installs are on intel machines, and are laptops. I have not been able to
test this on a desktop machine.
I apologize for the lack of technical data, but I am still new to Linux and Ubuntu.
Thank you.

Forgot to mention, this is for the Breezy 5.10 release. I have not tested any
others.
