Good Day,
First... Thanks to all the list members that gave advice.

I tried some of the suggestions but the OS did not respond as expected.
So ... Reinstalled and the first thing was to "sudo passwd root"
Voila... worked as expected and that is the way I like it.

Next installed  "unity-2d" as suggested by a member.
"Very interesting".
