Did you check out

or

or

and many more by doing a Google search of your error.
Your solution may already exist out there. Might be better than
seeking to have someone re-trouble shoot something that may have
already been trouble shot and posted online.
I note that you didn't log in as root but rather did a su - to root.
Try one of the other terminal windows (CTRL-ALT F1-F6) and log in as
root from one of those and try to change it. See if that makes a
difference.
