Need help with a weird sudo error.

Linux and Unix-Like Ubuntu
1

I'm fairly new to unix and I was trying to change the name of my host and my user. I changed the name in /hostname using this: gksudo gedit /etc/hostname I then tried changing the name back but it still gave the same error: {env_reset, secure_path=/usr/local/sbin\:/usr/local/bin\:/usr/sbin\:/usr/bin\:/sbin\:/bin User "User" may run the following commands on this host: (ALL) ALL And when I su it gives this error: Cannot execute "User": No such file or directory Any help would be appreciated

User "User" may run the following commands on this host:
(ALL) ALL

And when I su it gives this error:
Cannot execute "User": No such file or directory

Any help would be appreciated

What does your sudoers file actually look like? saying what settings you have in gksudo doesn't help much.
