To do this via SSH, log in to the machine and run the command pkexec visudo. If you have physical access to the machine, SSH is unnecessary; just open a Terminal window and run that pkexec command. Assuming you (or some other user) are authorized to run programs as root with PolicyKit, you can enter your password, and then it will run visudo as root, and you can fix your /etc/sudoers. If you need to edit one of the configuration files in /etc/sudoers.d (which in uncommon in this situation, but possible), use pkexec visudo -f /etc/sudoers.d/filename. If you ha

Problem description: I have broken my /etc/sudoers file by making a typo in it. Now I can no longer use any sudo commands as the below error is thrown. Therefore I can't fix my sudoers file and am effectively stuck. $ sudo nano /etc/sudoers >>> /etc/sudoers: syntax error near line 39 <<< sudo: parse error in /etc/sudoers near line 39 sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting I found few solutions saying I should boot into recovery mode (like the one below) which I would obviously like to avoid. Ubuntu : borked my sudoers file, how can I fix it? Questions: -Are there any other ways to fix it without restarting ubuntu? -If it is so easy to lock yourself out of sudo when modifying the sudoers file (everybody can do a typo), why isn't the sudoers config read from memory instead of the file directly? There would be a command (e.g. sudo-load) that would make sure the syntax is OK before loading the config into memory thus avoid this sort of problems. Solutions: There seems to be 2 ways of recovering it: -if you have the root password you can simply issue a 'su' and then edit the file -if you don't have the root password you need to restart into single user mode ubuntu sudo share|improve this question edited Mar 24 '11 at 9:06 asked Mar 24 '11 at 8:27 Max 1,12263258 marked as duplicate by ThatGraemeGuy, Hangin on in quiet desperation, Rob Moir, Chopper3 Mar 24 '11 at 11:55 This question has been asked before and already has an answer.

Even the /etc/sudoers file itself has a comment warning you to always use visudo to edit it. –ThatGraemeGuy Mar 24 '11 at 8:45 this is why i now always set a root password immediately after install.
