[QUOTE="Dingbat, post: 207137, member: 465"] Many may know how to, but those who are tired of having to 'sudo' all the time and don't know how to enable the root user password in Ubuntu its quick and easy: Open a console window [code]sudo passwd root[/code] This will ask you for the new current and new passwords. Thereafter you can either log in as root or [code]su root [/code] or [code]su -[/code] and work as root user to install/update or any other task you need root privileges for [/QUOTE]
