By mistake I removed administration privileges from my account under kde, which is the only account that had it. Removing the privilege has removed my account from sudoers. Is the only course of action I have to get it back to reinstall F29 and then upgrage to F31?
Are you saying that in the "User Manager" section of "System Settings" you have unchecked the
box "Enable administrator privileges for this user"?
If so, they why not just check it again?
Once you remove adminstrator rights from yourself, you don't have permission to change it again.
Have you tried it???
I have....
I deleted the Admin Priv, Reboot, and then enabled. I was prompted for the root PW and it does as expected.
Now, if one has not enabled the root user, then there is more to be done.
Sure, but by default there is no root password and the user doesn't have
permission to change anything.
FWIW, the "System Settings" process that I'm talking about simply places the user in the "wheel"
group.
Yes, that's what administrator rights means for a user.
