I wouldn't recommend to activate the root password as thats not the
"Kubuntu2 way, it works perfectly with sudo for CLI and kdesudo for
GUI programs and starting to temperer with with root for a
inexperienced user like Steven is not to recommended. If he has some
process running amok he don't need to be root to kill it as he
probably is the owner. Don't complicate things that don't has to.
