I am on F31 and have always used sudo. This morning, after a while, I finally rebooted and am on the 5.5.8-200.fc31.x86_64 kernel. However, I appear to have lost my sudo access.
I get: that my username "is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported."
Not sure how this happened. How do I get back into sudoers? I am not even sure I, (in fact I think that I do not), have a root account.
It's unlikely that you were ever in the sudoers file unless you added it
yourself. Normally the user is in the wheel group to make them admin
and allowed to use sudo. What does the "id" command show for you?
I did not manually add the user but I have had sudo privileges because I checked the box with regard to administrator privileges while installing long long ago.
I had no idea that id was a command (thanks!) but here is what it says:
uid=1000(username) gid=1000(username) groups=1000(username),7(lp) context=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
Somehow you got dropped from the wheel group. Did you uncheck your
administrator access in the user control panel? In any case, if you
don't have another admin user, you will need to use a live or rescue
boot to add yourself back in to the wheel group.
Btw, you do have a root account, but it probably doesn't have a
password. "sudo -i" will make you root.
