See @omano’s post above.

[Testing Update] 2022-02-01 - Kernels, Pipewire 0.3.44, Qt5, Mesa 21.3.5, Wine 7.0

You can restore the file in /etc/sudoers.d/ folder with content %wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL or you can uncomment the line with similar parameter in /etc/sudoers file, either of this method will work, doing it with su (login as root).

I’m new to Linux and i don’t understand how do this

[ishaan2479]

su #enter root password here
export EDITOR=kate #to use kate rather than vi
visudo
#now uncomment (remove "#") before the line %wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
exit

Then you shouldn’t use the Testing branch maybe.

To restore the wrongly deleted file (be careful as one wrong command after being root with su can mess things really bad)

su -
nano /etc/sudoers.d/10-installer

then paste this content

%wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

Save and exit by pressing CTRL+X then Y to confirm. Exit root terminal

exit

Reboot.

reboot

Alternativly:

[Unstable Update] 2021-12-13 - Python 3.10 Rebuilds

My solution: su then: groups Result: exists no group called “sudo” Therefore (as root): groupadd sudo then usermod -a -G sudo "user" and reboot. Voila.
