While you're in konsole just type su, then use root password.

A display is a component of an X session. Konsole cannot be run directly from a vtty.

Most distros do not share the *buntus' creepy sudo fetish. That is, most distros other than the *buntus do not pre-configure sudo.

They expect you to use su to assume root privileges. If you wish to use sudo, you must configure it yourself using visudo. Unless you are using a *buntu, to use konsole as root, open konsole as user and run su.

Code:

frankbell@orca ~/ $ su
Password: 
root@orca frankbell/ $

Afterthought: This was on Slackware. I have customized my .bashrc file because I wanted to know what directory I was in because I got tired of running pwd.

Code:

frankbell@orca ~/ $ cat .bashrc
PS1="\u@\H \W/ \$ "
