What is the output of

lsb_release -a; uname -a

Sounds like you are using Kali (Not Ubuntu) and have messed with sudoers and botched the file

Thread moved to Ubuntu/Debian BASED

Is Kali supported here? The kali forum is here

Is Kali supported here?

In the most minimalistic way.
We allow some support, but we draw the line at any of kali's cracking tools.
We will not allow discussions about pentesting tools or cracking or tools used for cracking.

But questions unrelated to using those tools are usually fair game.
