Second, you might try switching to root instead of using sudo. I don't

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.
Thanks. I'll try that a little later.
