sudo root?

Hey, maybe you wanted to use "su [ENTER] {root psswd}"?

Code:

vlad@linux-rulez4:~$ sudo root

[sudo] password for vlad:

sudo: root: command not found

vlad@linux-rulez4:~$ su

Password: 

root@linux-rulez4:/home/vlad#

I agree with vlad1977. The sudo command is to execute commands with root privileges: you tried to execute the command root, which was obviously not found. See man sudo for details.

you sudo a command not a user
try
sudo yast2
or something along those lines
make sure your user has rights to use sudo

if you really need a root shell and you cant use su
then you could

sudo bash

(this is what you have to do in the *buntu family as they dont permit root logons)
