Any reason why you can't just run 'sudo passwd' straight after every
fresh install of Ubuntu? I'm 99% sure that's what I did (it's been a

Andy prefers to make the rescue environment work in this instance,
so have done.
BTW this sort of failure mode (breaking sudo) is something I dislike
about Ubuntu's stance of not having a root password. sudo will also
break if you screw up the permissions on /var or /var/run. Any ideas on what to do?
Andy should be able to manually edit the filesystem for you if you
open a support request.
