That might be a bit short on the details -
To make that work, you still have to edit etc/passwd and then copy the kubuntu etc/shadow entry across.

But keep in mind that the Kindle probably does not support the encryption method used in your kubuntu file system.

So I stand by my first recommendation -
use the 'root' entries in etc/shadow and etc/passwd from the diags file system (which you know is working, since you just logged in with it) for the main file system.
