You have been subscribed to a public bug: When I come to the login screen, with its list of users, I select "other" and type "root" and then give the password, nothing happens. All the other users accounts I can log into without any problem. I am using Gnome 2 (gnome 2 fallback session) with ubuntu 12.04 precise. I can use su root ok though, in another users desktop from a terminal. And why does Appearances not give me the faciltiy to download and install new Gnome Art themes any more? Are the two problems connected? Any help would be appreciated.
