I don’t know why this doesn’t work straightforward:

If I use zypper to install sth it still says root is needed
.
Btw, I don’t know if it’s a bug or what, but everytime I edit the rule of sudoer, pressing “finish” gives a “can’t write to rules, do you want to edit it again?”
I then “yes” and “finish” again, the rule can be saved.

Paste here, inside code tags⁽¹⁾:
su
grep -v "^:space:]]*$|^#" /etc/sudoers
exit

I have never used that YaST module myself. I assume you are running it
as root?

Well, maybe there is a bug in that module and you should report it

Hi Robin,
Here’s the result of the grep command:
## sudoers file.##
## This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.
## Failure to use 'visudo' may result in syntax or file permission errors
## that prevent sudo from running.
##
## See the sudoers man page for the details on how to write a sudoers file.
##
##
## Host alias specification
##
## Groups of machines. These may include host names (optionally with wildcards),
## IP addresses, network numbers or netgroups.
# Host_Alias WEBSERVERS = www1, www2, www3
##
## User alias specification
##
## Groups of users. These may consist of user names, uids, Unix groups,
## or netgroups.
# User_Alias ADMINS = millert, dowdy, mikef
##
## Cmnd alias specification
##
## Groups of commands. Often used to group related commands together.
# Cmnd_Alias PROCESSES = /usr/bin/nice, /bin/kill, /usr/bin/renice, \
# /usr/bin/pkill, /usr/bin/top
##
## Defaults specification
##
## Prevent environment variables from influencing programs in an
## unexpected or harmful way (CVE-2005-2959, CVE-2005-4158, CVE-2006-0151)
Defaults always_set_home
Defaults env_reset
## Change env_reset to !env_reset in previous line to keep all environment variables
## Following list will no longer be necessary after this change
Defaults env_keep = "LANG LC_ADDRESS LC_CTYPE LC_COLLATE LC_IDENTIFICATION LC_MEASUREMENT LC_MESSAGES LC_MONETARY LC_NAME LC_NUMERIC LC_PAPER LC_TELEPHONE LC_TIME LC_ALL LANGUAGE LINGUAS XDG_SESSION_COOKIE"
## Comment out the preceding line and uncomment the following one if you need
## to use special input methods. This may allow users to compromise the root
## account if they are allowed to run commands without authentication.
#Defaults env_keep = "LANG LC_ADDRESS LC_CTYPE LC_COLLATE LC_IDENTIFICATION LC_MEASUREMENT LC_MESSAGES LC_MONETARY LC_NAME LC_NUMERIC LC_PAPER LC_TELEPHONE LC_TIME LC_ALL LANGUAGE LINGUAS XDG_SESSION_COOKIE XMODIFIERS GTK_IM_MODULE QT_IM_MODULE QT_IM_SWITCHER"
## Do not insult users when they enter an incorrect password.
Defaults !insults
##
## Uncomment to enable logging of a command's output, except for
## sudoreplay and reboot. Use sudoreplay to play back logged sessions.
# Defaults log_output
# Defaults!/usr/bin/sudoreplay !log_output
# Defaults!/sbin/reboot !log_output
## In the default (unconfigured) configuration, sudo asks for the root password.
## This allows use of an ordinary user account for administration of a freshly
## installed system. When configuring sudo, delete the two
## following lines:
Defaults targetpw
ALL ALL = (ALL) ALL
##
## Runas alias specification
##
##
## User privilege specification
##
root ALL = (ALL) ALL
Jake ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/zypper
You see there:
## In the default (unconfigured) configuration, sudo asks for the root password.
## This allows use of an ordinary user account for administration of a freshly
## installed system. When configuring sudo, delete the two
## following lines:
Defaults targetpw
ALL ALL = (ALL) ALL
My advice would be to do as said.
Just to be clear:
If you just call “zypper” you are running it as user, not root!
You have to run it with “sudo”, then it gets run as root and you shouldn’t be asked for the root passwd anymore because of your sudoers settings.
**sudo** zypper in xxx
Alright…this is my problem. :shame: Thanks.
