This is to *tell* us information about why you're having problems with su and sudo Running the id command should give you information like uid=1000(amacater) gid=1000(amacater) groups=1000(amacater),27(sudo) which shows you that my user - amacater - is the first user on the machine (because Debian starts user id numbers at 1000 for ordinary users) and that I'm a member of group sudo - so can use sudo instead of su. /etc/sudoers will show you what privileges the sudo user has. Here are the last lines of the file on my machine (which has not been modified from Debian defaults) # User privilege specification root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL # Allow members of group sudo to execute any command %sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL # See sudoers(5) for more information on "@include" directives: @includedir /etc/sudoers.d (END) If you are _not_ a user of group sudo for whatever reason - and want to use sudo - then you will need root privileges and the root password (once) to add your user name to the group. For example: adduser sophie sudo I hope this helps > 2 years ago > sudo was no problem. > As yet, we have *no idea* what you have done in the last two years to break your Debian system - or even to know which kernel you boot or how you "rescue" your system when you log onto it every day. Please give us information in order that the readers on this list can use their knowledge to help you.
