Enable root account.
First, it is important to make clear that, for security of the system, should work normally with the root account. We can create users who can run the command sudo. To do this, consult the entry Create users with administrative privileges in this blog.
If we go ahead, see how it performs this action.
When you install Ubuntu, the only user account with which you can log that is created during the installation process. This account is limited to administrative tasks, so you have to run the sudo command every time we run a command to manage the system. The root account is created but not active because it has no password.
To enable the root account, follow these steps: 1.Open a
terminal and run the command sudo-u root passwd. The system asks the user password created during the installation process and password to be assigned to the user root.
To open a terminal, run the Terminal Accessories menu option, found in the Applications menu.
2.For the root user, once activated, can sign, run the option menu entry Window Management, located in the System menu. A window in which we must enter the password that we created during installation and press the OK button, accessing a new window in which we have to open the Security tab.
In this window, you must enable the Allow local login to the system administrator and press the Close button. 3.Cerrar
session and log in as root. 4.Activar
tasks you can perform root. To do this, run the Users and Groups tool the Administration menu, which is located in the System menu.
In this window, select the root user and click the Properties button, accessing a window in which we must open the User Privileges tab.
In this window, select the boxes you want and press the OK button, returning to the window where you press the Close button, the session must start again for the boxes marked to take effect.
