Hello,
I have a strange issue: my machine was updated via cron last noght. I rebooted this
morning and several attempts, including rebooting into the older kernel do not seem to
work in granting me sudo access.
~$ sudo dnf update
[sudo] password for maitra:
maitra is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
The password is correct because otherwise I would get the notificaiton that it is not so
so that is not the issue.
Short of reinstalling, how do I get around this? Note that I do not have root account, so
I am not sure about what to do.
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan
The error explains it:
maitra is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
run visudo
is "wheel" enabled for sudo and is maitra in the wheel group?
