- The problem is happening on a remote server, so everything is done through
ssh
. - I can login with my key, no problem here.
- I can change my password at will with
passwd
(which I believe shows that it's the correct password for my user). - My user is in the sudoers file (I could check with
pkexec cat /etc/sudoers
and entering the root password)
However, being logged in as my regular user, I can't run sudo
commands anymore, it just says Sorry, try again
as if the password was mistyped.
I have no clue what causes that, I've tried changing my password, which I could, but it doesn't solve the sudo
problem.
