@cgwalters @dustymabe any idea?

Unfortunately strace changes the behavior of suid apps so we're not seeing the real error here. Does it reproduce if you run sudo when you're already root?

Do you have any non-default PAM configuration?

No.

Do you have any non-default PAM configuration?

No. It's a clean install->g-i-s->go directly to Terminal to sudo ls -l and get this error.

I get the message

sudo: unable to mkdir /sudo: Operation not permitted

In a terminal when I enter sudo ls -l but the output of the command is correct. I have seen this on another system with F33 Silverblue rawhide, the command used then was sudo flatpak repair. It doesn't seem to affect the command from working, just an annoying message for me right now. Both systems are a clean rawhide install.

Yes, the command does succeed despite the error. There are two unexpected consequences: (a) the reported error (b) the authentication timeout is immediate, i.e. immediately using sudo again, I'm also required to authenticate again.

I'm having this problem too with Silverblue 33.

In OSTree based systems the root / directory is immutable. Which means things like mkdir /sudo won't work. I'd be interested to know why something is trying to create that directory.

@TheOneandOnlyJakfrost

Could it have something to do with sudo itself? Maybe it has changed recently. I have version 1.9.1 which has this change, that seems to indicate writing info automatically into sudo.conf

@dustymabe

Right, my guess is that it is probably a change in sudo in f33.

on my non Silverblue system /sudo/ts/dustymabe/ exists and is binary data:

$ sudo file /sudo/ts/dustymabe
/sudo/ts/dustymabe: data

ts is for timestamp. It should go to _PATH_SUDO_TIMEDIR, which is defined as "$rundir/ts" in ./m4/sudo.m4, e.g /var/run/sudo.

Maybe this directory is not present and sudo fallback to / ? I tested in a container and it created /sudo, and there is no /var/run/sudo on the fs

looks like this is fixed in a future update (not yet in updates-testing) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1868215

I can't reproduce it on current Silverblue 33 that contains the builds mentioned in bug linked by Dusty.

$ rpm -qa | grep sudo
