Okay, looks like I blew it. I installed Kerez. One of the steps for using it includes the following:
cp /etc/sudoers /etc/sudoers~ && echo user ALL = NOPASSWD: ALL >> /etc/sudoers
Well, I became root and did it and now I can't use application manager to refresh, go to log or settings....nothing. I get this message "operation already in progress" when I try to refresh.
Also when I try to become root and I get this response.
>>> sudoers file: syntax error, line 57 <<< sudo: parse error in /etc/sudoers near line 57
Looks like I am locked out.
All installed programs work fine.
I am using OS2008 on my N800. I managed to set up dual boot myself. I am guessing I will have to recopy the flash operating system to MMC2. But before doing so, I thought I'd do a search to see if anyone else had this problem. No luck. So this is a plea for any advice. Looks like this newbie got in too deep using "become root". Any thoughts, suggestions????
