Re: Admin rights on UBUNTU
really there is no need at all to login as root
You can do all he privileged work from the first account ( with administrator capabilities ) the install process defines at installation
after that the only thing You have to do is to run the DIRTY tasks using sudo .....
it will ask You for a password and you should type the password You are using for Your account ( with administrator capabilities )

When I tell somebody to RTFM or STFW I usually have the page open in another tab/window of my browser,
so that I am sure that the information requested can be reached with a very small effort

Hi Enrico,
SUDO indeed works but the problem is I dont have R/W access in all folders
How to get R/W access over all folders and files?

Re: Admin rights on UBUNTU
Look here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/44418/ho ... root-login and http://askubuntu.com/questions/91598/ho ... in-as-root.
But how did you install ubuntu -- I did it using wubi and I've not faced this yet (never needed to), though I've not logged in for long on Ubuntu.

Re: Admin rights on UBUNTU
thats something You would not want to do ...How to get R/W access over all folders and files?
the only folder that Yo can safely CHMOD 775 and CHOWN yourself is /usr/local
and using sudo You can do anything You want/like
