i have a problem...
i just installed Kubuntu and i dont have permission to create files in root...
how can i get admin status on my other user?
note:i have only one user to choose from on startup!
Try using the chmod command as root, or go into the control panel stuff and look for users and groups and try to change permissions from there, or just reinstall
Try logging in as root
Username: root
Password: <you setted password on install>
or use superuser command..
type: su -
than enter root's password.
If you forgot root's password then reinstall kubuntu, setup new one, and don't forget it :)
Just one tip. DON'T USE ROOT AS DEFAULT, IT MAKES YOUR COMPUTER VURNABLE TO VIRUSES AND OTHER STUFF!
You never have permissions to create files in root by default - that's because they're roots documents only and you don't have access to them. Just create them in your own folder, then become root and copy them via command line, i.e.:
su -s :or: sudo su
cp filename.file /root/filename.file
Or if you are really confident your computer won't get hacked and you don't care about security, make the root folder viewable/readable/writable/executable by everyone:
sudo su && chmod 777 /root :or: su -s && chmod 777 /root
