Bug Description

When I installed new Ubuntu 7.10 i386 server I get "not in the sudoers file" error, when I try to use sudo with user created during installation process. I can set up root password or repair sudoers file in rescue mode, but it definitely shouldn't work that way. Probably an installation script bug?

This problem has been discussed at ubuntuforums too - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=591112

Reassigning this to user-setup, as it smells like an installer issue.

We've had scattered reports of this, but despite our best efforts we haven't been able to track it down. Since you repaired the problem in place, you just might be able to help us. Could you please attach /var/log/installer/syslog to this bug report? (You'll need to become root to read it.) Thanks in advance!

Changed in user-setup:
assignee: nobody → kamion
status: New → Incomplete
