Re: Get root access

 

You should not change the root filesystem (/) to read/write mode and
install things with apt. The partition will fill up quickly as it is
small, and you will break updates if you do so.

If you must use some command line tools, you can do so using a simple
chroot, or by using the newer libertine tools.

For using a chroot see http://askubuntu.com/a/623311/50737
This answer will be updated to include the libertine solution, when all
of the necessary pieces are available directly on all images. However,
if you are on the M10 tablet, then installing the tools you need inside
the libertine container and using them from there, is the preferred way
to do this.
