Hi Nels.   Did you get this sorted?  If you'd still like a fresh copy of 
that file, let me know it's location and I'd be glad to send it to your email 
or put it in my dropbox or whatever suits you. Have the 64 bit Kubuntu 14.04 
loaded up and I daresay I like what I see.  :)

Mornin' Nels.  I'd be happy to load up a copy of Kubuntu 14.04 and retrieve 
that sudoers file (or any others you may need), if you want.
It probably doesn't matter for that particular file, but I need to choose 32 
bit or 64 bit kubuntu.
I'm about due to try another flavor of Linux so it'll be no problem.  Let me 
know.

Subject: [juneau-lug] How to repair sudo?

Somehow I messed up sudo on a new computer preloaded with Kubuntu 14.04.
It was a few weeks ago, and I didn't keep any notes on what I did, but I
was trying to add my daughter's account to the sudoers list, and somehow no
accounts are on the sudoers list any more.
Both accounts are in the adm and sudo groups.  I have tried following the
instructions at
https://sites.google.com/site/installationubuntu/security/fix-sudo-ers-file
but my sudoers file looks like the one there.
I would attach the sudoers file, but I don't have access to it unless I
boot to single user mode.

I have the lines
root    ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL

%sudo  ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
exactly as they appear in the link I mentioned above.

Does anyone have any thoughts on what to try next?

Does anyone have a default sudoers file from kubuntu 14.04?  Copying that
into place might be sufficient to fix the problem.
