Hello everyone, I had this problem this morning and it is the corruption of the file / etc / group that no longer contained the list of user privileges. If the file is correct, another investigation found that at the end of comment. Here is the file before the correction: root:x:0: daemon:x:1: bin:x:2: sys:x:3: lp:x:7: mail:x:8: news:x:9: uucp:x:10: man:x:12: proxy:x:13: audio:x:29:pulse,percherie,timidity www-data:x:33: backup:x:34: list:x:38: irc:x:39: gnats:x:41: games:x:60: nogroup:x:65534: libuuid:x:101: syslog:x:102: messagebus:x:106: avahi-autoipd:x:110: avahi:x:111: couchdb:x:113: haldaemon:x:114: saned:x:116: pulse:x:117: gdm:x:119: percherie:x:1000:percherie timidity:x:121: debian-tor:x:122: And after the correction (replace user percherie by your name): root:x:0: daemon:x:1: bin:x:2: sys:x:3: adm:x:4:percherie tty:x:5: disk:x:6: lp:x:7: mail:x:8: news:x:9: uucp:x:10: man:x:12: proxy:x:13: kmem:x:15: dialout:x:20:percherie fax:x:21:percherie voice:x:22: cdrom:x:24:percherie floppy:x:25: tape:x:26:percherie sudo:x:27: audio:x:29:pulse,timidity,percherie dip:x:30:percherie www-data:x:33: backup:x:34: operator:x:37: list:x:38: irc:x:39: src:x:40: gnats:x:41: shadow:x:42: utmp:x:43: video:x:44:percherie sasl:x:45: plugdev:x:46:percherie staff:x:50: games:x:60: users:x:100: nogroup:x:65534: libuuid:x:101: syslog:x:102: fuse:x:103:percherie lpadmin:x:104:percherie ssl-cert:x:105: messagebus:x:106: crontab:x:107: mlocate:x:108: ssh:x:109: avahi-autoipd:x:110: avahi:x:111: netdev:x:112:percherie couchdb:x:113: haldaemon:x:114: admin:x:115:percherie saned:x:116: pulse:x:117: pulse-access:x:118: gdm:x:119: percherie:x:1000:percherie sambashare:x:120:percherie polkituser:x:121: timidity:x:122: debian-tor:x:124: vboxusers:x:123:root,percherie winbindd_priv:x:125: If this file is correct, you can boot into recovery mode and edit the file /ect/sudoers with command visudo export EDITOR=vi && sudo visudo And add after # Members of the admin group may gain root privileges %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL This ligne <your_username> ALL=(ALL) ALL -- Terminal emulators can not start a bash shell in 2.6.28-4 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/313947 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
