I moved my ubuntu installation from my HDD to my SSD, but now my permissions seem to be messed up.. For example; i can't run my installed Chrome browser anymore, and running sudo gives me the sudo: /usr/bin/sudo must be owned by uid 0 and have the setuid bit set error.

I've used this manual to move my installation to my SSD; https://askubuntu.com/a/40454

Any idea what's going wrong?

I've also already tried to reboot in recovery mode and chown / chmod the /user/bin/sudo file / directory as root..

Edit:

As i said, i've used this manual to move my installation to my SSD: https://askubuntu.com/a/40454

The instructions were as follows:

1) Copying files

You want to copy the FILES, not the whole partition ( including its free space ), so you don't need to resize the partition first. Boot from the livecd and mount both the HD and SSD ( after formatting a partition on the SSD of course ), then copy all of the files over:

sudo cp -ax /media/hd /media/ssd

Use the correct names for the hd and ssd mount points of course. Then you just need to edit the /etc/fstab on the ssd to point to the new fs UUID ( you can look it up with blkid ). Finally you need to install grub on the ssd.

2) Dealing with GRUB

a) Command line:

sudo -s
for f in sys dev proc ; do mount --bind /$f /media/ssd/$f ; done
chroot /media/ssd
grub-install /dev/ssd
update-grub

Of course, use the correct device for /dev/ssd. The whole disk, not a partition number.

b) "Recommended repair" magic button in Boot-Repair:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair

Finally reboot and make sure your bios is set to boot from the SSD.

BBQ.
