tried the solution first part o.k.but when I tried putting in a password for fred,which it had asked for it wouldnt accept anything I tried. |
Are you at work? Is this your own computer? If you are at work, then you need to ask your system admins to install it for you.

Hi Alex
No I am at home and it is my computer an ASUS X58Lseries. |
Hmmm odd. You put in your user password, correct? Since you are running Ubuntu, the root account is disabled. Did you enable the root account? Are you the administrator on this computer? Have you installed anything on your computer in the past?

Hi Alex
Yes I keyed in my password (which the terminal would not accept)yes I am the administrator.No I havent installed anything yet with the terminal this is the first try with you as my guide.As for opening a root account I know nothing of how to do this. F.W. |
OK. Can you paste the output of
Code:
cat /etc/sudoers |
Hi Alex
After putting cat/etc/sudoers and pressing enter,the reply comes up no such file or directory F.W. |

** EDIT ** If you truly do not have one, here is a generic one (this is from Arch but it's probably the same thing): Code:
## sudoers file. Code:
gedit tmp Code:
<your username> ALL =(ALL) ALL Code:
cat tmp > /etc/sudoers |
Hi Alex
I put in the command cat /tmp/sudoers in and got permission denied.I would like to thank you for taking the time to give me all usable code that you did but unfortunately it is way over my head at this stage.I have found a terminal emulator in the ubuntu software centre I mght try that. F.W. |
Hi Alex
tried another terminal:KONSOLE:same outcome. F.W. |

Code:
gedit tmp Alex Brinister |
Hi Alex
When I try to copy sudoers file to gedit tmp I get an instruction that this file needs to be edited with VISUDO.What is VISUDO? I am going to bed now my head aches. Best regards F.W. |
ViSudo is basically a program that launches the vi editor, except that it can only edit the sduoers file. I think you are going to have to boot into a Ubuntu livecd, mount your hard drive, and copy the tmp file to /etc and rename it sudoers. If you don't have a tmp file, then you can just copy what's above.
