Your admin user doesn't appear to belong to clsudoer group. Bad fs.proc_super_gid option value in /etc/sysctl.conf

The error message you provided indicates that there is an issue with the fs.proc_super_gid option value in the /etc/sysctl.conf file. It also mentions that the admin user does not appear to belong to the clsudoer group.

Let's address this step by step:

  1. Fixing fs.proc_super_gid in /etc/sysctl.conf:

    • Open the /etc/sysctl.conf file using a text editor. For example:

      bash

 

  • sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf
  • Locate the line that sets fs.proc_super_gid. It might look something like this:

    php
  • fs.proc_super_gid = <some_value>
  • Ensure that the value is set correctly. If you're not sure what value to use, you might need to consult your system's documentation or the provider's instructions.

  • After making any changes, save the file and exit the text editor.

  • Apply the changes using the following command:

    bash
    • sudo sysctl -p
  • Adding Admin User to clsudoer Group:

    • If the admin user needs sudo privileges, you should add them to the sudo or wheel group, not clsudoer.

    • To add a user to the sudo group, use the following command, replacing <username> with the actual username:

      bash

 

    • sudo usermod -aG sudo <username>
    • After adding the user to the sudo group, they will have sudo privileges.

  1. Reboot:

    • After making these changes, it's a good idea to reboot your system to ensure that all changes take effect.

Remember, always be cautious when editing system configuration files, and make sure to have backups or a way to access your system in case any changes cause issues. If you're unsure about any specific configurations, it's a good idea to consult the documentation for your specific system or seek advice from a qualified system administrator.
