Adding a user/ full permissions

[XeLu]

On my PC, I have the permission for:
> sudo su -

to login as root without know root's password.
But to updates, or install somethings in the graphic interface, the system always ask me the password of root.

I thinks add an user who have a full permission is a solution, but I don't know how to do it.
Have you got any suggestion for me ?

Thanks

Hi and Welcome !

Which distro are you using?
Its not a good idea to enable root login in GUI. You can gksu to launch GUI application with root privileges.

I use Debian. I found a solution with:

> apt-get upgrade

and

> apt-get install

It's cool! Thanks!

apt-get and aptitude are default package managers in Debian. You can use Synaptic too. Its a Graphical Interface of apt-get.

There is no need to add a user having full permissions because the root user already has this, so you might as well login as root user. Of course logging in as root user is really a very bad idea, and one of the worst habits you can get yourself into.

I'd give this matter much more thought before creating a user with full permissions, or logging in as root user.
