....Which is all wrong, no root password needed in Ubuntu !

For the command, see # 3 and # 4. "kde" doesn't work.

You don't need to login as root to use sudo. and you don't need to set root password to use sudo on ubuntu.

It makes sense to enable root account, but this isn't needed for this task.
