I am working under ubuntu 14.0.4. I have an application which I did in c++. This computer in which I am working is going to be use only for execute this applications, nothing else, no internet, no personal computer, only for run this applications.

The thing is that I need to enable the root account in this computer I undestand the risk, but it is going only to run this application. So what I want to do is whenever I boot the computer start automatic root user always. How can I do that?

Many thanks

I don't really know a way to automatically login using root but heres a way to login to root account from the greeter(Unity login screen). In the terminal type

sudo gedit /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf/50-unity-greeter.conf

Then add the line

greeter-show-manual-login=true

And then restart and login by typing "root" as username and type in the root password.
Login using root is risky especially on an internet connected machine.(Don't promise your money thinking Linux is virus-free.)

  • I assume you know how to enable root using "sudo passswd".
