Permissions

[audriusb at homelan.lt]

Quoting Andy <andy.choens at gmail.com>:

Open root terminal and you'll be able to perform every task. Another security
hole, which can help you, is character console: enter it writting Ctrl+Alt+F1 ,
login name and password. Launch sudo command:
   sudo su -
and you gain the root rights.
Enter Ctrl+Alt+F7 when you want to back into graphics mode.
