Public bug reported:
Hi, I tried editing the sudoers that is located on my Ubuntu setup on
Virtual Box, it didn't allow me to update sudoers due to permission
issues. I changed the permission of sudoers to 777 and was able to add
my user name into it, however after that I was not able to run few
commands hence I got instruction from google to purge and re-install it
however it started throwing error afterwards however I noticed that I
was able to remove my username entries from it before re-installing.
Please suggest if I would need to re-install ubuntu on my virtual box or
the current setup would work as before ?
Thanks,
Mahesh Bhatia
