Hi Greg,

I am using ubuntu-24.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso from 
https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop in VirtualBox


sudo is there:

lars@Ubuntu-2404-VirtualBox:~$ sudo whoami
[sudo] password for lars: 
root
lars@Ubuntu-2404-VirtualBox:~$ 


The setup-linux script „asks“ for a password but doesn’t wait for me to enter 
it. It continues instead saying „su: Authentication failure“:

sudo command is already present.
Adding lars to sudoers...
Please enter the root user's password.
Password: su: Authentication failure


Kind regards,

        Lars
