I found the solution to the

sudo
sudo: PERM_ROOT: setresuid(0, -1, -1): Permission denied

problem.

You need to enable root login through ssh and then you will be able to ssh in as root and wont have any weird permission problems.

Follow crazy's instructions from above: -->Start your linux after install and open Terminal Emulator then type:
su (important!)
cd /data/data/ru.meefik.linuxdeploy/files/bin [this line could be different. find your bin and use its path.]
./linuxdeploy shell ( there are other options for configuing linuxdeploy)

install nano if necessary with apt-get install nano

------------start of guide for ssh changes-----------

Enable root login over SSH:
As root, edit the sshd_config file in /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Add a line in the Authentication section of the file that says PermitRootLogin yes.

This line may already exist and be commented out with a "#". In this case, remove the "#"

Authentication:

#LoginGraceTime 2m
PermitRootLogin yes
#StrictModes yes
#MaxAuthTries 6
#MaxSessions 10

Save the updated /etc/ssh/sshd_config file.
Restart the SSH server:
service sshd restart
You can now connect to the conversion server as root over SSH.

NOTE: I NOTICED THAT ON ANDROID LINUX THE RESTART SERVICE SSHD COMMAND DOES NOT WORK. JUST STOP LINUX IN LINUX DEPLOY APP AND RESTART INSTEAD. NOW I AM SSHed FROM WINDOWS 10 INTO MY OLD NOTE 3. THINKING ABOUT ADDING IT TO A BEOWULF CLUSTER. XD !!!
