Honestly, it doesn't sound like your installatin functions properly. I would suggest you reboot into recovery mode, and try the "repair broken packages" function(just in case), and the "try to fix xserver" function.
Root user is disabled by default in *ubuntu, using sudo to enhance security. It is possible to run as root, but it is strongly discouraged.

Here the copy & paste is working fine but "BloodiedFangs" is telling that > Topic: Can't copy and paste files in dolphin

Do you have something in common ?

use sudo, why there isn't "run as root" as in previous versions?

As default there aren't but if you want to use:

> Root Actions Servicemenu
> Simple Root Actions Menu
> Open Dolphin as Root

another problem is that after upgrding to kde 4.2 i couldn't use widgets, if i try to add anyone, the computer freezes

Did you remove old plasma packages before upgrade ?

> KDE 4.2 Released

3. Old Plasma packages are not compatible with KDE 4.2, you should uninstall any plasmoids.

There are plasmoids from the KDE and from the single packages:

KDE: kdeplasma-addons - plasmoids for KDE 4 Plasma - main package.
Single packages: plasmoid-*


Plasmoids from the KDE packages should always have the right plasma version (> Plasmoid versions)


Removing a plasmoid-* package

Through your package manager (> FAQ: Package Managers)

Konsole/cli example:

I have (> FAQ: How to get list of installed packages.):

 dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall | grep plasmoid

plasmoid-devicenotifier-automount install
plasmoid-embed-win install
plasmoid-lastmoid install
plasmoid-network-manager install
plasmoid-simplemonitor install
plasmoid-simpleweatherforecast install
plasmoid-systemcommand install
plasmoid-trainclock install
plasmoid-weather-extragear install
plasmoid-weather-smhi install
plasmoid-windows-list install

This will remove one of them:

sudo apt-get remove plasmoid-embed-win

@Rog131: Sorry to bump this, but how did you get the train-clock listed? The train-clock is broken in kdeplayground. Which is sad, because I would love to use the train-clock.
