I tried user is not in the sudoers file and My user is not in the sudoers file with the same result:

root@avilellaM710t:/home/avilella# sudo adduser avilella sudo         
The user `avilella' is already a member of `sudo'.
root@avilellaM710t:/home/avilella# exit a
vilella@avilellaM710t:~$ sudo ls
[sudo] password for avilella:  avilella is not in the sudoers file.
This incident will be reported. 
avilella@avilellaM710t:~$ whoami
avilella

Also, see:

root@avilellaM710t:/home/avilella# cat /etc/sudoers

Any ideas?

    You are using sudo as root to execute adduser (unnecessary), thats why you are getting the error. usermod -aG sudo aviella will add the user to the group sudo, without deleting any other existing group the user belongs to. su -l aviella to clear envvars and initialize HOME, SHELL, USER, LOGNAME and PATH. id to check the groups your user is in.

  • It worked after rebooting, so with a fresh user login.
