user is not in the sudoers file

Follow these steps:

  1. Open a konsole terminal window.

  2. Switch to the root user if you have access, by running:

    su -

    You might need to enter the root password.

  3. Once you're the root user, you can edit the sudoers file with a command like this (replace "your_username" with your actual username):

    visudo -f /etc/sudoers

     

  4. This will open the sudoers file in the text editor (usually vi or nano). Be careful while editing this file, as any mistakes can lead to system instability.

  5. Navigate to the section that looks like this:

    ## Allow root to run any commands anywhere
    root    ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
  6. Below that section, add the following line to grant sudo privileges to your user:

    your_username ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
  7. Save the file and exit the text editor.

  8. Finally, test if sudo is working for your user by running a simple sudo command:

    bash
    sudo echo "Hello, I can sudo now."
