That means the error is with the configuration of sudo and not with konsole. Re-check your settings in /etc/sudoers and make sure you can run the above command manually before retrying with the terminal emulator.

You are looking for an error there. :/ Take a look at the output using the -l option.
Code:
sudo -l
It should list what you have available for that host. If that does not give a clue then look at /etc/sudoers itself.
Code:
sudo more /etc/sudoers
And pay attention to the parts you yourself have changed. Most distros seem not to be setup for resolving the host names properly, so you may have to have it ignore the host name. There are not too many use-cases for small-office-home-office situations where it would be useful anyway.
I never modify this file, so don't understand why it should error. Is the error msg saying my hostname is missing or invalid? I typed in the cmd: "hostname" and the return was "(none)". But I checked the /etc/hosts file and the hostname is set to "Aspire-LT" at 127.0.1.1
Doesn't the /etc/sudoers file read this /etc/hosts file?
No, I don't think it does read /etc/hosts. I am somewhat sure that sudo uses the same source as the hostname utility does.
I would recommend starting a new thread about the sudo problem and then returning to this thread when that is resolved. People more familiar with sudo will see the new thread even if they have ignored this one about konsole.
