Hello Friend,
I did a mistake :(
I log into ubuntu using the primary user id 'niyaz' (created during
installation).
I was trying virtualbox and on the first run it told me 'niyaz' is not
in vboxusers group.
well, that revelation striked me quite hardly, i guess.
And i fired:
$ sudo usermod -G vboxusers niyaz
and it transmigrated me to vboxusers.
I lost the sudo power.
In an attempt to rehabilitate 'niyaz'
I booted the system with the Ubuntu live disk,
added 'niyaz ALL=(ALL) ALL' to /etc/sudoers
but it left some challenges for me:
- 'niyaz' can't unlock users-admin (gui tools to manage users) although
users can be added/deleted with useradd/userdel. it exits with error
number 6868.
- similarly 'niyaz' can't unlock services-admin (gui tool to manage
services)
- synaptic package is working fine ('niyaz' is getting authenticated by
it)
- 'niyaz' doesn't have permission to access other auto mounted
partitions.
please suggest me what else i need to do.
Thanks to you all,
Niyaz
