OK, so I have lost access to sudo on my new install. I was attempting to add group audio to myself using useradd -G {group-name} username as I found on Google but maybe I should have used the "-a" switch as well? Anyhow, the result of this change was that all my groups were removed and now I only have "audio". Great, so now no sudo access.
More resarch led my the GUB recovery console. Now here I used groupscommand only to see that my user here in recovery had all the groups already, they just go missing when rebooting back into the desktop. I also in GRUB recovery added the command mount -n -o remount rw I figured this might help. Nope, it did not. So next I added a new user, again in GRUB recovery with the mount rw and this resulted in another fail, with no such user found when back in the desktop.
So about now I am out of ideas and would appreciate any assistance please.
