open the root terminal and type passwd to chane root passwd or sudo -s in your terminal.

Then you can use root by issuing the su command.

eak.already set root using 'sudo passwd root' AND in gdmsetup /security allow root to login as i like as root to do few tinkering...increased gdm login screen font size....


another.... rhythmbox not playing my mp3s.....

installed gstreamer0.8-mad with dependencies also downloaded 'configure-debian' quite useful..

I dont understand why ppl keep saying there is no root user in Ubuntu....I can use root user even in gnome!

 

[vignesh]

In Ubuntu the root user will be disabled and the first user account will act like a root account and can do most of the admin tasks.

Yeah, I know that. The first thing to do after a fresh Ubuntu install is sudo passwd root .
