how do I switch to ubuntu recovery mode?

Posted on November 10, 2016

I am facing the the following issue as i ran some permission on sudo.

“sudo: /usr/bin/sudo must be owned by uid 0 and have the setuid bit set”

I think to resolve this issue, the following steps should work.

Switch to ubuntu recovery mode. mount -o remount,rw / mount --all chown root:root /usr/bin/sudo chmod 4755 /usr/bin/sudo restart

My question is how to switch to ubuntu recovery mode?
