Found out after posting that if you logout and then
attempt to login into the system as root you will get
a message that the root account is not allowed to login.......

This means an additional change to the system to bypass this.

Root account is disabled in Ubuntu. All system administration can be performed
by any user in "admin" group.

BTW, why do you need working root account?

I am not the one that brought up the subject. I always use
sudo to do admin commands. I was pointing out that if
you give root a password you can not login through KDE
login gui.

We don't change this setting from upstream KDE, and I can't see a reason
to do so.
