      Hi,
          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?
Nope, lots of simpler methods...

1. Of course, if you have the root password you can give your user
sudo.

2. Boot to a maintenance CD and set a root password.

I don't have the root account enabled and I don't have a maintenance CD for F31 as it was an upgrade from F30, which was an upgrade from F29.

If you're comfortable with the command line, you can download the netinstall ISO and use rescue mode.
