I checked all files requiered FQDN in /etc/sysconfig/network, /etc/hosts.., and add root ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL at end of sudoers file. why it always complain about root is not in sudoers file? and error only occurs when you do 'sudo' as root user.

is it possible a bug in installer?

can you please print output of /etc/sudoers file ?

If you have added your user to sudousr file then the cleanest way of doing things is probably to grant the root group to your user. For instance,

to add user oracle to the admin group:

usermod -aG root root
