Ubuntu still has a root user, just like other Linux distributions. The
difference is simply that its password is locked by default, and users
are encouraged to use sudo instead.

If you set a password for the root account (sudo passwd root), then the
root account and 'su' will work normally.

Cheers,

Paul.
