Second, you might try switching to root instead of using sudo. I don't fully understand why, but apparently there are some differences. To become root you do 'sudo su.' One thing that I learned a long time ago is that 'su' means 'switch user,' not 'super user.'
I don't know whether ther ubuntus allow you to switch directly to root using 'su -' rather than 'sudo su', but I suggest you try adding the huphen to the su command. This switches you to a login shell and some (many?) tools require the access this allows.
