No worries, I'm just learning and this is only an experimental machine :)

so now I should do:

sudo usermod -a sid sid
sudo usermod -a adm sid
sudo usermod -a dialout sid
...

?


By the way, one of the thing I tried to fix this was to boot as
recovery then type visudo and add the following line:

sid ALL=(ALL) ALL

then I did 'sudo usermod -G admin sid'

now I can do sudo, but perhaps I should remove the visudo line?

All this shell commands making me feel like Im a hacker already :P
