login into root account in linux ubuntu

[Feanic]

Hello,

How did you get your interface like that? I just installed Ubuntu today (new in the Linux universe) and have the version ubuntu-11.10.

My 'task bar' at at the left side of the screen but I want to have it at the top, like you do. I cannot find the option for that, since I only can change my background and theme.

Thanks in advance.

It no long works on 11.10 - you can change your root password with sudo passwd, but not edit in - gedit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf

you should get a error now.

So simple, Thank you for the clarification. I could not use SU before authentication failed, so I did this and it works fine now. many thanks

You know you don't have to do all of that, all you have to do is "sudo bash" then enter your password.

It tells me gedit is not a program installed...

I'm using Backtrack 4 Pre Release...

[coolGeekJ]

gedit is just a gnome text editor...

you can use any text editor u wish...

for example:

kate /etc/...

that will work if u got kate editor installed
