Re: [Trisquel-users] gluglug thinkpad x60 w/ coreboot mini review

It certainly should be possible independent of the hardware, not that I've  
ever done it. There is a root account but you can't login as root, the  
password is disabled. That link talks about lightdm which ubuntu uses but  
Trisquel uses gdm3, so the step 2 won't work.

I believe there is no need to assign a password to root account and to login  
as root. Just open a term and sudo su to become root, then do the usermod  
things (steps 4 and 5). I could be wrong though.
