After updating sudo, mon2cam no longer works.

[GamerGuy95953]

It's me (again). After I updated sudo I restarted my pc and now when I try to type mon2cam in the terminal it requests for the password, after I type it says "sorry, try again." I've tried 5 times and I am 100% sure that is my password. That's how I login in the first place. Is it an issue with sudo or do I need to do something different? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Your password was incorrect, problem with sudo or typing, I've had it happen before, no idea how to fix it, wait a few days and use root to update your system, hopefully sudo works again.

I got a fix. Open a blank terminal as root then type your password now you can open a separate terminal and mon2cam works. Wierd. I knew it wasn't a mon2cam thing.

Now the method I talked about earlier does not work and now I can't even use the terminal as root while still being about to log in to my user account which is an administrator. Nice.

There's root, and non-root, there's no admins on linux, you have a group that the sudo package looks for to allow you to use it to elevate your command to run as root.
I would suggest logging into root via su or tty and updating your system, hopefully that fixes your sudo privilege issue.

I was able to get it working for a little bit. While it was working I “reset” my password by setting it to my original password and it hasn’t stopped working since. I really do think that when I updated sudo it broke the password system.
