I am new to Ubuntu and have installed Ubuntu 12.04.3 on my laptop. I need to install VAS on it but when I do I get the error:
sudo: pam_authenticate: Module is unknown.
And I cannot make any other changes. Anything that requires sudo I get this error. Also you cannot logon remotely to the box.
These are the packages installed for PAM. Can you tell me what module I am missing??
#dpkg --get-selections | grep -i pam
libpam-modules install
libpam-modules-bin install
libpam-runtime install
libpam0g install
python-pam install

try
sudo pam-auth-update --force
to update pam configuration. If it works well and good otherwise possibly you dont have all the needed modules installed..
