Well now the problem HAS been solved.

sudo: must be setuid root solved in Ubuntu
Go to recovery console (reboot, and chose recovery console in case you didn't
catch on to how to do that),

fire following commands .


Code:

chown root:root /usr/bin/sudo
chmod 4755 /usr/bin/sudo

and reboot the machine by

Code:

shutdown -r now  



In case if you are getting a "Sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0777, should be 0440"
message on startup then

go to recovery console and fire following command

Code:

chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers

So it appears that the ending "shutdown -r now" is essential for some
esoteric, if not meta-physical reason. I had done as everyone had suggested
SEVERAL TIMES but to no avail as I've stated before. But being somewhat
persistant and decided to re-install if necessary, I tried it one last time.
It worked...

I'd like to thank each of those that had brought something to the final
resolution of my problem.
By the way, if anyone needs a tester quite good at getting into trouble, I am
available!

AndrĂ©. ☺
