sudo is not a command to be used alone; using sudo elevates the command following it to administrative privilege. A common use might be to edit a system file. Your image suggests that you have used gksudo nautilus which should have launched Nautilus after your password was entered. Try this command ... sudo cat /etc/sudoers

Use
From the man pages
man sudo
Execute a command as super user.sudo allows a permitted user to execute a command as the superuser or another user, as specified by the security policy.
man gksudo
GTK+ frontend for su and sudo.gksu is a frontend to su and gksudo is a frontend to sudo.
Their primary purpose is to run graphical commands that need root without the need to run an X terminal emulator and using su directly.
If you want to execute a GUI program with root permissions, you should always use
gksudo, and avoidsudo, as this might change the applications` permissions and set the application unusable for the user.If you want to execute a non-GUI program with root permissions, you should always use
sudo.
Meaning
It originally stood for "superuser do" as the older versions of sudo were designed to run commands only as the "superuser".
However, the later versions added support for running commands not only as the "superuser" but also as other (restricted) users, and thus it is also commonly expanded as "substitute user do".
Although the latter case reflects its current functionality more accurately, sudo is still often called "superuser do" since it is so often used for administrative tasks.

Try this:
chmod 644 /usr/lib/sudo/sudoers.so
Usually it would be sudo chmod ... but as far as you cannot run sudo and according to the error you're getting it seems you have given permission for writing that one with other users, maybe you got lucky...
If it doesn't work, please, do this:
ls -l /usr/lib/sudo/sudoers.so
And cut and paste the result here.

Thew only think you can do in such circumstances, AFAIK, is to boot an Ubuntu with an external USB drive, mount your primary hard disk, and change those permissions while running the USB drive Ubuntu instead of the installed one. Then reboot the system.

sudo is not a command to be used alone; using sudo elevates the command following it to administrative privilege. A common use might be to edit a system file. Your image suggests that you have used gksudo nautilus which should have launched Nautilus after your password was entered. Try this command ... sudo cat /etc/sudoers
