Hi Keith, - boot on live cd - click on the "/" partition - open terminal - sudo nano /media/mount_path/etc/group (adapt "mount path) - find adm:x:4: and change it by adm:x:4:keith (if your login is "keith") - save & restart on your xubuntu - log with keith account, sudo should work <div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Oct 24, 2012 at 3:15 AM, Keith Clark <<a href="mailto:keithclark@k-wbookworm.com" target="_blank">keithclark@k-wbookworm.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> Due to an error with using rsync, I've lost my sudo access.
