Hi
some days before, I had a problem about using the *"beep" function..* ... working around, to solve my problem, I got the suggestion to register myself in the "audio group" .. I made it using these commands:
*sudo adduser <my_name> audio* and also : *sudo usernod -G audio <my_name> *
Actually (after this) I no longer have (I lose the) sudo privileges (I think, in consequence of these actions). As well my name still appears inside the /etc/sudoers/ file..,
## Allow root to run any commands anywhere
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
*angelo_user ALL=(ALL) ALL*
(but i am not anymore in the wheel group)
When i try to use the sudo privileges, I get the message : *<"angelo_dev is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.">*
In conclusion :
- I am still registered in the /etc/sudoers file - I am not anymore registered in the wheel group.
I think it could be enough to register me in the "wheel" group again, in order to still get the sudo privileges, but I am not completely sure about this : *....because to be registered in /etc/sudoers is not enough ??...* (how it works the management of sudo privileges ? )
I would like sono help
tank you regards
Angelo

I assume this was "sudo user*m*od -G audio <my_name>". This will replace the list of supplementary groups with just "audio", which will remove sudo privileges. You need "--append" (or "-a") to append "audio" to the supplementary groups.
What did you use for <my_name>? You seem to have two user names: "angelo_user" and "angelo_dev".

If you no longer have a login with sudo privileges you will need to boot another system (e.g., a live distro from a USB key) to

Check the list of groups for "id", "id angelo_dev" and "id anglo_user".

You should not need to be in the wheel group if your username is in "/etc/sudoers".

You should not need to be in the wheel group if your username is in "/etc/sudoers".
I an in doubt of this, PolicyKit things don't respect sudoers file, IIRC. So if you are in sudoers but not wheel, you will have problem in some GUI apps or systemctl commands.
I think in this case, just adding yourself in wheels by sudo usernod -G -a will be enough.

Hi George, thank you for answering me..
Yes I have two user name how you said what you say is right: <"You should not need to be in the wheel group if your username is in "/etc/sudoers"">.
My name was not , at the moment that I had the problem, in the sudoers file . Later I added it , and this wast enough to gain again the sudo privileges..
Probably the cancellation was caused by the command <sudo usernod -G audio <my_name>
Now the problem is solved, as well it seems me strange that adding a new group to a user should delete it from the list of sudoers
Again thank you to all that tried to help me
Angelo

That is what caused it.

As George said in an earlier email, that isn't adding a user, it's replacing the group list completely. You need the "-a" option to add a group. When you ran that command, you removed yourself from the wheel group which removed your sudo access.
