Hello all,
having strange problem .. can't log in like a root.
I mean su + root_password combination doesn't work.
It is not a problem but a design decision. Ubuntu does not set a root
password and PAM denies logins with accounts that do not have passwords.
This was done to encourage people to use sudo and to not develope any
bad habits by using the root account.
Use sudo. If you really must use root (I can't actually imagine why),
the solution involves sudo. That should be a big enough hint if you are
motivated to enable the root account.
One of the worst design decisions ever made IMO and the main reason why
I won't be using any Ubuntu-derived distro including this one. It annoys
me so much.
Yes, I know you can get round it by setting a root password. If I wanted
my distro to dictate my behaviour, I'd use a Mac.

cheers,
