How can I root Ubuntu?

• A terminal window can be opened by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T.
• Prior to the remainder of your command, type sudo.

For e.g: sudo /etc/init.d/networking adduser adds a new user to the system, whereas sudo networking ends the network service. These two actions demand root access.

• Prior to executing a command that launches a programme with a graphical user interface (GUI), type gksudo.

For e.g: enter gksudo gedit /etc/fstab to view the “fstab” file in GEdit, an editing software with a GUI.

• Simulate a root environment.

1. Run the sudo passwd root command. This effectively “enables” the account by generating a password for root. Don’t forget this password.
2. Type sudo -i. Enter the root password when prompted.
3. When you have root access, the prompt will switch from $ to #.

• Grant another user access to sudo.

You must add the username of the person whose account you are creating to the sudo group if they don’t already have root access. Enter usermod -aG sudo username to accomplish this (but replace “username” with the correct username).
