How to login to root account in LMDE ?

Ok ... fresh start.


Im doing something and well i have to edit a configuration file, which is read-only.

The whole folder is read only.

Plus if you're root it doesn't nag you about "not found" it is in "sbin/blabla", the root just executes even if it's in other folders.


See the point here, i want to use the console, but im left down and can't do anything, how am i supposed to learn if im not allowed to do anything ? That "step by step from babysitting mode up" is a way of learning that in my opinion is quite less effective for me, i wouldn't have figured out as much of the low level stuff.

 

showing the total of folders/files in drive root

Properties are shown differently for folders and roots.
Root properties only shows used and free space.
Folder properties shows Size, Size on Disk, number of files/folders.
Questions:
1 - How can I discover on the root drive the total of folders and files on drive?
2 - Better, how could I list the number of files within each folder?
3 - Even better, how could I list the total of subfolders and files at each level within the tree branches?

 

How to login to root account in LMDE ?

Are you trying to access through terminal?
Root mode in debian should be su- or su -
sudo gedit will get you into any config file as root
/etc/sudoers contains information on giving accounts root privelage
sudo visudo is used to open this sudoers file to edit permissions.
I agree with the others, the GUI is great but linux is ALOT of cmd line, so if you want to learn this it is crucial that you learn command line, you will get no where fast without it.
