`sudo` is not working after latest update [Solved]

General system Newbie
1

As the title says, sudo is not working after the latest update (which also updated the sudo pkg, pkg releases history).

Every thing was working just fine and after updating my system yesterday and rebooting my laptop, now I can’t use sudo, it doesn’t even prompt me for password or anything.

~ ❯ sudo pacman -Syyu    
~ ❯ sudo pacman -Syyu
~ ❯
~ ❯ cat /etc/sudoers 
[bat error]: '/etc/sudoers': Permission denied (os error 13)
~ ❯ sudo cat /etc/sudoers    # shows nothing
~ ❯

I have also tryed to use timeshift to restore my system, but it not working properly now, I guess because of the same issue.

I also use KDE Plasma 6 DE, one thing I noticed that may help is that mounting partitions works from dolphin file manager but mounting them from terminal using sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sda1 /path didn’t work as any other command that requires sudo permission.

That is strange. Maybe a partial update?

While you try to fix it, you can use run0 or pkexec instead of sudo

3

So, I can run run0 pacman -Syyu or pkexec pacman -Syyu?

edit:

I tried it and I get that:

~ ❯ pkexec pacman -Syyu                                                                                                   ✘ INT
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed to synchronize all databases (unable to lock database)
~ ❯ run0 pacman -Syyu                                                                                                        4s
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed to synchronize all databases (unable to lock database)
4

Try this, then try updating again.

run0 rm -r /var/lib/pacman/db.lck

The above removes the database lock.

5

Awesome, Thanks!

One last question, if this issue takes a lot of time to fix, should I continue using run0 or I can revert to the older package version someway

sorry for my noob questions

That probably means your update was interrupted in the middle.

See if updating fixes your issue.

7

Yeah I was able to update after removing the db file as @ddnn adviced, and I rebooted my system afterwards but I still have the sudo command issue. Idk if I should use run0 from now on or I can revert to the older version of the sudo pkg that was working

8

If your system is fully up-to-date even after running:

run0 pacman -Syu

Then try reinstalling sudo with:

run0 pacman -S sudo

Then try sudo again:

sudo pacman -Syu

If you get:

:: Starting full system upgrade...
 there is nothing to do

Then awesome! You’re good now.

9

I get that error should I remove it first then install it again?

What happens if you run the below command by itself?

sudo nano

You can usually exit it with CTRL+X.

11

It doesn’t open nano or do anything, I just get the shell prompt again:

~ ❯ sudo nano
~ ❯ sudo nano
12

This is also my /etc/sudoers which I noticed it don’t have my username: https://pastebin.com/raw/meRccNsN

and this is the last 2000 lines of /var/log/pacman.log: https://pastebin.com/raw/mDiFeug7

13

That is normal. You get sudo access g in the wheel group.

Also, in modern systems, /etc/sudoers isn’t modified, instead you use drop-ins in /etc/sudoers.d

You can use run0 downgrade sudo to rollk to a prior version but if sudo isn’t working it probably indicates some other issue.

14

I noticed you have been installing and uninstalling Linux kernels, and that you’ve installed grub customizer and discover…

It’s your system, but why?

15

What should I choose from here?

Number 60

17

Yeah, I wanted to try the zen kernel and I had two kernels installed the LTS and the stable kernel, so i removed the stable and kept the LTS along with the zen kernel which I currently use.

I also installed grub customizer because I wanted an easy way to change grub timer and to hide the extra options that appear while booting like the fallback mode

18

Same issue :frowning:
