    You don't use "su" on the command line. To do root stuff you use "sudo".

    But, if you want to open a root console and just issue commands as root without prefacing each with "sudo" then
    just

    sudo su

    and enter your account password. Your prompt line will show you are root.

          Just a reminder... NEVER run as root, and NEVER keep a root konsole open continually.

          IN and OUT, ASAP.
