SUDO prefix from MOBA XTerm suddenly doesn't work anymore

[StreetCruiser]

For months the SUDO command prefix from SSH Browser in MOBA XTerm is working fine. Suddenly I can't do some SUDO more from the SSH Browser, e. g. to delete a text file.

I can't find any settings in the ctrlX Core UI how to enable the remote SUDO command prefix.

Anybody can help?

Hardware: ctrlX Core X3

Operating System: Ubuntu 20.04 Focal

Hello,

I guess you are using the ctrlX CORE to develop something right? The root access is intended just to be used by developers and not to be used in production.

I suggest you to format the device and activate again the sudo permissions using the assert provided.

Please keep in mind that root user assertions (and so ssh access) are in standard time limited to one year. Afterwards it will not be usable anymore.

Hello...

It happens again with me... this time within ctrlX Core X7. The root user assertion is only about 2 weeks old. It has been working perfectly until last week. Now I'm kinda handicapped - not able to remove some own files. 

The error message I've got from MOBA XTerm is again exactly the same.

Any advice?

Finally the reason for my problem has been found:

The assertion file was mistakenly generated for several days only!

It obviously explains why the superuser works only about 2 weeks.

Problem is settled.
