Hello Erik The problem resides in the fact that your user 'erik' is not in the list of allowed sudoers. To make this happen, log in as root and issue the command visudo. This should bring up the editor vi where you have to add yourself as a valid user. The following syntax can be applied. erik ALL=(ALL) ALL Then save and exit vi by pressing ESC+:wq. You should now be able to use the sudo command as your normal user 'erik'. Please keep in mind that using the sudo command without caution can cause the same damage as carelessness when logged in as root.
