     @dotpel: you have to 'sudo passwd' first time setting password for root

     @dotpel there isn't one. Prepend a command with sudo and enter your password when asked. For GUI programs, gksudo. For root shell, sudo -s

     @dotpel on the live cd? Just open a terminal and type sudo su.

     @dotpel: There isnt one. Use sudo and *your* password.

     @dotpel: sudo -i will also put you into a root terminal session. Type EXIT to exit the root session.

     @meredrica !ubuntu folks have always told me to use `sudo -i` instead of `sudo su`

     @benanov thats sometimes not usable, try pipes using sudo -i (eg. sudo cat somefile > /some/dir/writable-only-for-super-suer-aka-root)

     @benanov I've been told the same, but on some questions they said there's no solution without sudo su
