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 |
