More, you can still login as root in console (Ctrl+Alt+F1) (if you can't I think that's a security level problem) Why to you want to login graphically as root while you can use su ? Loging in grphically as root is quite dangerous because you run a lot of applications just when you login and if any of the applications is buggy it can break a lot of things. More, you may want to look for documentation on the internet and if the program you use has security flaws (that occurs sometimes, especially on big softs like konqueror or mozilla) people may get control of your computer... ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: RESOLVED creation_date: description: when the xserver is chosen to be started at boot there is no way to logon as root to administer the system. first noticed in beta 3, also in RC1
