Root login to Windows X



Hello list:

 

I just finished installing my first Debian system and I seem to not be able to log on to Windows X using the root account, I can easily log in with any other account though. I have tried choosing different types of sessions (Gnome, Debian, KDE, etc…) at the log in screen and it still keeps on saying: “The system administrator is not allowed to login from this screen.”

 

I have no problems when I switch back to the command line (using ctrl+alt+F1) and log in as root, however I cant start X from there since there using the “startx” is already a version of X running. I am trying to do some administrative tasks but I want to do them through the desktop since they are far simpler that way. I know that I can log in with a regular user account and then use the “su” command in the Kommand terminal but then again that would be back to using the command line. Is there a way that I can get to the desktop with the root account? Thanx!

 

Francisco
