So after fixing this by hacking sudoers in a live image, I can now do "stuff" via sudo again.

Not sure what the problem was exactly, other than there was no entry in sudoers for my user.

That could have been all along, however. I noticed there's a line in sudoers that says:

# Members of the admin group may gain root privileges
%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL

Is %admin correct? the actual group name is adm, not admin.

And I don't know if my user was previously in the sudo group, but that account IS part of adm.
