I have run a script https://github.com/starlilyth/Linux-PoolManager to install it and I have run into the situation where on each sudo command I get the prompt:

[sudo] password for root:

the /etc/sudoers looks like this now :

-r--r----- 1 root root 823 mar  7 16:07 /etc/sudoers

And I cannot access it.

What can I do now to restore the system to normal functionality ?

EDIT

$grep sudo /etc/group

 sudo:x:27:USERNAME

The sudoers file is default like this:

# /etc/sudoers

#

# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.

#

# See the man page for details on how to write a sudoers file.

#



Defaults    env_reset



# Uncomment to allow members of group sudo to not need a password

# %sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL



# Host alias specification



# User alias specification



# Cmnd alias specification



# User privilege specification

root    ALL=(ALL) ALL



# Members of the admin group may gain root privileges

%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL

This does not contain your user so to be able to use sudo add this:

<username> ALL=(ALL) ALL

That will grant you sudo-access. (If its the best way to do it I'm not sure, but it works for me when I install Debian)

Also, take a look at this community documentation for more information:
