Hey,
Ubuntu by default has '%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL' in sudoers so if you're
not already in the admin group then simply running `adduser <username>
admin` from the safemode described above would fix that.
Though, during installation the first user created should be added to
the admin group and given privileges for devices by default.
cheers,
Owen.
