How to fix /etc/sudoers: syntax error near line number


I am new to Ubuntu. And as while editing anything in visual studio code, I had to enter password. so for that I tried to change in sudoers file but after that I am unable to find what happened and also getting error like below.

I used the command to change i

sudo nano -w /etc/sudoers

after which i pressed ctrl+x

/etc/sudoers: syntax error near line 26 <<<
sudo: parse error in /etc/sudoers near line 26
sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting
sudo: unable to initialize policy plugin

Thank you.


Solution

  • we have to write -
    pkexec visudo
    And it will open the file and one need to change as previous if any made.
    Then type Ctrl+X which will ask to save the file. So type: Y and Enter
