I am new to Ubuntu. But interested to know better. Ubuntu 18.04 was successfully running. I have changed something in the root folder files during some trials, my Ubuntu 18.04 is stuck before gdm shows.

  1. I have run live session.
  2. I can see all the folders in my disk where Ubunu 18.04 was running successfully.
  3. I am not able to delete or copy paste.

How can i get root privileges?

In the live session, you can open a terminal window and run commands with the prefix sudo, for example

sudo copy path2/file1 path2/file2

to copy file1 with root privileges.

In standard Ubuntu you can open a terminal window with the hotkey combination

ctrl + alt + t

In a live session you need no password to run via sudo, but in an installed system, you need the password for your user ID to run via sudo.

  • @PRATAP, It is possble, but it is easier to give advice with command lines for a terminal window, because it will work in most cases. If you run Xorg, you can try sudo -H nautilus and if you run Wayland, you can try according to this link, but I suggest that you learn using commands in terminal windows. – sudodus Aug 16 '18 at 15:23
