What you probably want is a shell running as root, as though it were produced from a root login (for example, with all the environment variables set for root rather than for your user).Īssuming that's what you want, as steeldriver has suggested, just run: sudo -i It's located at /usr/bin/gnome-terminal and can be run with the gnome-terminal command.
The default terminal emulator on Ubuntu is the GNOME Terminal.
