It sounds to me like there may be an issue with your account not being
authorized for sudo.  Does your laptop have more than one user
configured?  There should be at least one user set up that can run as
sudo.  The trick, of course, is becoming a sudoer when you don't have
sudo rights.  Sort of difficult by design.
