sudo problems

[zer0halo]

Try going to Computer ... System Configuration ... Users and Groups.

Then add your user (the one you use to log in with), to the "sudo" group. 

You should then be able to execute sudo without being prompted for a password.

Of course it's not very secure since anyone who gets physical access
to your computer while logged in would be able to gain root access.
But I assume that's not a problem :-)
