Hi, Hugo

I think that in the past we had a different "sudoers" settings. As a
workaround, try this:

- run "visudo" as root
- edit the line that starts with your username so that it reads like
(assuming your username is "hugo"):
hugo ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

This should give you power to run "sudo" commands without being
prompted for a password. The best approach to fix that would be to
configure your ssh-agent, though.
