as Gogalthrop mentioned you dont need to use root in Konsole, you need to use sudo to gain root permissions. To do this in konsole you simply type in su before any command to activate root permissions.

open terminal

su (or su - if needed)

enter root password

(note that nothing will show on screen when entering the root password text, but enter anyway, then press ENTER)
