How do I add root privileges to my account on Ubuntu. I already know how to login as root and that is not what I want. I want to be able to login and make changes to places other than %26quot;/home/my username/%26quot;. I do not care about the security risks.
Also: How does one change the port that vncserver (or also tightvncserver) uses (5900/5901)?
Thank you
Root privileges in Ubuntu?
You use sudo - not root. I have enabled root in the past on Ubuntu (look it up with google if you really want to) but I no longer bother because root is not needed. I get prompted for my sudo password every time I try to do something that requires root access. The account that was created during the installation was given sudo privileges.
