I supposedly enabled a root login by setting a password for root by means of the command:

sudo passwd root

Yet on the login screen after reboot when I use the username root the password I set earlier with the above command does not work. Should it?

Right now the only way I can be root is while logged in as user number 1000, and using the command:

sudo -i

OS is Ubuntu 22.04 Studio Jammy

  1. install ubuntu
  2. run "sudo su"
  3. run "passwd"
  4. follow prompt
  5. run "su"
  6. now enter the password you set on step 4
  7. it will not display password when it is entered
