I realize that coming from windows you would think that logging in as root is the way to go. Please stop doing that. It is not only unsafe but also unnecessary. Just execute commands as root w/ sudo OR become root in a terminal window. Example:
sudo /etc/apt/sources.list
OR
su
<password>
xedit /etc/apt/sources.list
