Seems to have found an answer to my almost desperate search for the reason, it is this nasty sudo while installing a system and entering user and group. Once you made this mistake, you rather do it again and step by step or you get along with a kind of phantom sudo, even after typing

Code:

apt-get purge sudo

as root. Even in that case, have a look at the manpage of lsblk or search for more in the ubuntu-corner.



While getting along with a phantom sudo, it finds all the devices and may you would wish to have a real wide screen after typing as root the following:

Code:

su lsblk -o NAME,FSTYPE,UUID,RO,RM,SIZE,STATE,OWNER,GROUP,MODE,TYPE,MOUNTPOINT,LABEL,MODEL

Note: after tearing out sudo-package!!! And afterwards once again, have a look at the rights, whatever it may be, 40770 or 10644. I thought to put this here, not as a final conclusion, but in my case, a very old usb-drive worked well with msdos format, on squeeze and wheezy. A brand new one is unknown to my older laptop, but seen on the new system at my desk. A even newer hdd acts as well to be seen as an irritating device that quote:

Code:

mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdb1 is already mounted on /media/usb0

that command was typed as root, su.
So take care, if you a using debian wheezy or installing it and if you want to exclude sudo, do this while installing it. Otherwise you probably have a stable ubunutu bla foo do or so. But not a pure blend of debian or root, in my opinion. So if anybody can give me a better conclusion, or clues or hints, thanks in advance.


got it, almost!

Code:

%wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

feel at home, try it and replace, if you like to, NOPASSWD with PASSWD, the mentioned code gives you su-level-1, one password for both. And here comes the link, where you may read more about it.

But my error message trying this, is the following one

Code:

syntax error, unexpected word  `('

so this may be the clue to repair it, can anyone give me a hint, please??? Thanks in advance.
