Hi , when i tried all the solutions above ,but does not change the result to have this error. Just turn OFF the terminal,than turn on .It works.
Had you already run visudo ? That error indicates that the file is already being edited. First stop the other process with:
killall visudo
Also run visudo -c to make sure that the sudoers file was not corrupted.
