    [SOLVED] No privileges with root

    Ok, so i just installed Hardy Heron and when I try to edit anything I can't because root owns it.

    So I log in as root in the terminal "sudo -s" and still nothing.

    I even try to edit sudousers but nothing. sudo visudo shows me the file but I can't edit it.

    And yes, it does show root@username

    any idea?

    In a terminal, type "sudo filetoedit" minus quotes and when it asks for a password, type in YOUR password, as the person that installed ubuntu is the administrator.
