   all of a sudden i cant use sudo to launch any command.

   tux@slitaz:~$ sudo tazpkg -v
   Password:
   su: incorrect password

   i cant enter a password, it immediately says i entered a wrong one.

   this is very strange. what can i do to fix this?

   Sudo command in Slitaz does not work. Use su.

   Key Master

   Sudo command requires:
   Installation:
   tazpkg -gi sudo
   Configuration:
   sudo visudo

   Read the comments in /etc/sudoers and use google to get information on sudo configuration.

   Hi K3nn3th,
   Hi mojo,

   Really, SliTaz provides sudo utility. But it is not regular sudo. It is small fake utility. Main difference from real sudo is that SliTaz's sudo uses root password. Not yours...

   It uses password you previously enter in the subox. Like this, when you run gparted from your Applications menu:
   

   If you enter your root password, tick on checkbox, and press OK button, then your root password will write to ~/.config/slitaz/subox.conf (and gparted will run).

   Next, if you'll run gparted again you'll see that password is filled, and you not need to type it again.
   And if you run your command "sudo tazpkg -v", you'll see that it works.

   ----
   OK. I try.
   With password saved: it works and not ask me for password.
   Without password saved (I temporary renamed my ~/.config/slitaz/subox.conf): it works, it asks my root password.

   If it not works for you, probably you need to
   

   # tazpkg recharge
   # tazpkg -gi slitaz-base-files --forced

   thanks for the advice, guys, but i already have sudo installed.

   the thing is, it worked up to 2 days ago!
   i updated some packages (cant recall which ones exactly), rewrote my rootfs.gz and it stopped working.

   never seen/heard any of this before.

   its not a problem with sakura..
