As root, I created a new user and added to sudo group with

adduser myuser sudo

but when I try to sudo something I got the Sorry, try again. error.

The curious thing is that i can use su without any problem.

(I'm on a vps with a fresh install of ubuntu server 12.04)

With su you use the root password. With sudo, you use your account password.

The errors looks like you've been entering the root password.
