This question already has an answer here:



  • Wrongly set chmod / 777. Problems?

    4 answers



sudo chmod -R 777 / was entered in an attempt to regain access to directories that were previously accessible, but this caused the SSH connection to be closed and now can no longer be reconnected. A "Login failed." error is displayed. The Pi can still be accessed directly.



Any use of sudo returns sudo: /usr/bin/sudo must be owned by uid 0 and have the setuid bit set



How can this be reversed? What did the permission changes do to cause this?

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.














  • In practical terms you restore from your backup or reinstall from scratch. You have hosed your system. There are some answers here (I'll see if I can find a duplicate for you) that explain how you might be able to repair your Pi but basically you've broken it.

  • Sounds broken, haha. Reinstall looks like the cleanest solution.

You can fix this by removing the SD card and mounting it in another device under /mnt and chmodding the files under /mnt.



Another option is if you can get it to boot by mounting a rescue image you can run aptitude reinstall "~i" which should fix file permissions.



That said unless there is data you can't lose you should reinstall.
