Is sysadmin your user and the one you set up during installation? If not you will need to add yourself to the admin group. This will of course require you to use the original user you created during installation.
If it is not your installation the error is because you shouldn't be using sudo/root commands.

Right, you don't seem to be in the 'admin' group but you are listed as being in 'adm' which I understand is the same (or similar).
You can add yourself to the group by booting into single mode and editing /etc/group - check out this link.
