I normally use apt.get or aptitude, but somewhere in the LL forum I have seen the recommendation to use the Update via the GUI, which I did: "Menu > Favorites > Install Updates".

According to your post:

adduser 'JohnD' sudo

I've now added the current user to the group sudo with this commands:

Code:
su root
adduser username sudo

But after "Menu > Favorites > Update Software" I see the error message:

Quote:Failed to run /usr/scripts/updates-gui as user root.

The underlying authorization mechanism (sudo) does not allow you to run this program. Contact the system administrator.

"System administrator", that's me. Wink
I currently prepare for LPIC 1 and LPIC 2. Smile
