helloI have my mandriva linux and i want to disable the root gui so that if log in to root it opens only the linux terminal or the linux konsole?can any help me here regarding this??
OK - I have just installed Mint Debian Edition on my dad's Laptop. I changed the repositories to squeeze (current debian stable) before the first update. I'm using apt-get update && apt-get upgrade to keep things up to date.I wanted a system that is easy to use and administer ... for now I'm going with squeeze as there will be few updates but it will be security patched - so system breakage should be minimal. I think just pointing to stable rather than squeeze will probably result in a few problems when wheezy replaces squeeze as stable.At some point (probably about 18 months time) the
I have been searching the internet for days on this and can't beleive I can't find anything on this. I'm working with an installed version on a windows servers. I don't know how it was originally set up so I can use the Server Instance Configuration tool because it doesn't show the existing setup. What I need to do is set the server to 'Enable root access from remote machines'. I've been looking for a command prompt way to do this but nothing seems to work or all I can find is non-Windows solutions. Can someone please either tell me how to know what configuration settings were used when settin

HiI am new to Ubuntu.I have heard so much good press about Ubuntu recently that I decided to give it a try. I downloaded 6.06 (Dapper) last night and installed it on my Thinkpad T40.Installation went without a hitch. This morning I downloaded a .mp3 file to /home but had a problem when I tried to move it over to my (USB) iRiver player. I had a message saying I did have admin status to do it. Normally, I would get around such a problem by going into Terminal and typing 'su'.I did this and it asked me for my password. Here's the rub: when I installed Ubuntu I can only remember typing in one pass
You can enable root as followed:sudo xtermpasswdSupply root password.You can now log in as root or issuethe su command to change to root.
As you all might know by now, Kubuntu comes with disabled root account and root login at the login screen forbidden. I've enabled the root account and now i would like to enable root login from the login screen. Cant find any way to do that, can someone be of help?

How can I enable root login to my vsftpd? I know this is a security issue, but I'll be limiting root access from my network only on "hosts.deny" and "hosts.allow" after.
I've just installed and been playing around with linux mint debian edition, and wow am I impressed. It certainly lacks a lot of the polish of ubuntu or vanilla mint but it makes up for it in its performance. I don't know why it performs so much better than pretty much every other distro I've tried, especially ubuntu.For example in ubuntu 10.10 and 11.04 the scrolling in firefox with smooth scrolling enabled is horrific and laggy (using catalyst 11.3/11.4 and oss driver.) in LMDE its just as smooth as in windows using both the oss driver and catalyst. Compiz is generally FAR smoother too. Minim
I really liked the look (theme) of the first Linux Mint Debian Edition: Linux Mint 201009 "Debian"However, I am not a big fan of the metallic gray look of the latest edition: Linux Mint 201012 "Debian"Does anyone know of a way to revert to the previous theme or where to download and apply it?
I am currently a Linux Mint user for one reason; I wanted an OS that "just works" and Ubuntu 10.04 failed me. Linux Mint 9 has no issues that Lucid had, so essentially I'm running a patched version of Ubuntu.I noticed today a new edition of Mint was released called LMDE; Linux Mint Debian Edition, based on the Debian Testing branch but "Mintified" with the same extras that Mint applied to Ubuntu's base.For me, this might be exactly what I need. I want an easy to use, out of the box OS. It's not that I can't tinker/fix stuff, it's that I shouldn't have to spend time doing so
I've been using Debian/Lenny for a few weeks now and just installed Ibex. A few things struck me that I'd like to change:1) How can I enable the root account such that I can simply 'su' and become root?2) How can I disable the graphical splash 'ubuntu' screen at bootup/shutdown?3) My default gnome desktop is totally empty. How can I have the 'computer' 'user home' 'trash' etc icons on the desktop?
I need to know how to enable the root account? I tried sudo passwd command and I still cannot login as root from the GUI. It says System Administrator account not allowed to login from this screen??The reason I need to enable the account is the fact that when I go into COMPUTER and try to create folders, my current account doesn't have access through the GUI. Is there any way to run the COMPUTER icon with the SUDO command?
I upgraded my ubuntu 9.10 to 10.4, Now I am not able to use root user. I tryed to enable the root from System>administration>users and groups but ther root user is not showing therePlease help me to resolver the issue
there. I have a Fedora 7 server with 2 drives, one dedicated to Fedora, the other is an NTFS drive which i use for storage (I'd use linux, but I CAN'T lose that data =\ )OK, well, I was setting up Fedora to be an FTP server, and I kept getting permissions errors, annoyed, I just set it so full access could come to the entire drive. Upon doing this, my FTP worked beautifully, and I could modify my entire drive at will from a distance - great. Well.... After something I did required a restart, I came back into root's GUI and found about 20-30 error messages all blathering about my internet not b
I'm a fairly experienced linux user and have done the below with many other distros. However, I am coming over from openSUSE and this is my first attempt at a debian based distro so there's a learning curve involved. Here's my situation:4 sata hard drives, containing 4 different RAID0 partitions of various sizes. All clean and created with mdadm a year ago. No issues with any of the hardware.I have 2 RAID0 devices I use as root partitions ( "/" ) for installs and two non-raid partition for use as "/boot? for these installs. I have successfully done this procedure with four other
I am developing software that will run upon boot up and has a gui. Let say a security app.When the system boots up the application will run. I will change the startup script of rc.local to start the application.But when a user logs in I want them to be able to see the gui of the application. Each system will only have one user. The application does need to have root permission to run.How do I do that?
As the title says, it seems definitely different than in vanilla (gnome) Ubuntu. I tried kuser but it's kinda hard to understand...for what it seems I enabled the root account but I'm still not able to login to it from the normal login screen...I need a permission for that too (I remember I had to do both things in normal Ubuntu back then).I already changed the password to something I'll remember so I just want to know how to enable login of it from the normal login screen (the same one I use to login to my normal account).

How do i enable super user?I tried:sudo passwd rootthen i specified the pass and switched to root, but this only works in the console, the rest of the system still doesnt allow me to configure many many things.If i try to run program using the "run as" mode, it always says me the root pass in incorrect, but works in console. Im very confused. Im using Kubuntu
Not being able to login to GNOME using the root account is extremely annoying considering I am currently unable to access it via SSH and I need to put some files in the www directory. I can't be bothered with having to su to root all the time via terminal, that's purely a pain in the a**.Any ideas on how to enable direct root login?

Being a bit annoyed from all the ranting that goes on about Unity the last couple of days I decided to have a friendly chat about Linux Mint's latest development: LMDE!So...anyone tried yet? The Mint team really has rolled out some kind of userfriendly Debian. It's fast, it looks good, it's more complete than any base install can be. There are regressions though, compared to Mint's main line, but that's obvious, isn't it?So, if you like, chime in with your latest LMDE experiences. Maybe somebody who dislikes the way Ubuntu may take will find a new home there?!About me: Exclusively running Linu
Now I know some of these questions will be like duh, but still I just want more of a confirmation for what I'm asking if I'm right or an addendum to what's wrong with my statements.1. My hardware works better under LMDE (specifically I don't have to patch my sound) because the kernel isn't modified, it's pretty much a direct compile from kernel.org with minor changes for it to work under Debian? - This I get the feeling I'm wrong in stating.2. Besides having to reconfigure VirtualBox for kernel updates, are there any other pieces of software that you can think of where I'd have to reconfigure
I have set root passwd using terminal and when try to login it says root logins are not allowed. The main thing why i need to login as root is to edit the bootcfg file (i.e) grub.cfg file. Everytime when i update the generic header appends to the top of the list and the older one doesnt get deleted automatically and also i want to order my windows OS during boot. And also please tell me how to edit that grub.cfg in terminal.
If you haven't used Mandrake before they have it set up in a Windows XP like fashion where you click on Icons to login you don't type in a username. Unfortunately they do not allow root to login. You can only get to it by su. I understand it's a good way to keeping somebody from using root to do everything however when you are setting up the system it is annoying using su in every shell I open and everytime I want to do something on the desktop entering a password. In the /etc/passwd file root is set to login to /bin/bash there's no "nologin" that I see. Any suggestions?
how can we login into root account?i have only my accounts password neither did i see any option of root during installation
I have done this before and its driving me insane, i just cant remember what command it was and google isnt revealing anything either.i usually type:"sudo command" and it asks my password which is ok, but i have a bunch of commands to issue as root and dont want to have to type sudo each timethis is what I want to see:root@localhost:instead ofusername@computername:I know i have to type sudo, but what else?
guys. I just installed Ubuntu server on my server, and I am having trouble accessing the root user. I ran $sudo passwd root, but I got this error:sendmail: fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf: No such file or directoryHow can I work around this? I need sudo to do just about everything.
I get the following error when I enter "sudo passwd root":">>> sudoers file: syntax error, line 23 <<<""sudo: parse error in /etc/sudoers near line 23"Since I can't get read/write privileges, I not only can't change the file, I can't even read it -- so I have no idea what to do.Can I fix this, or do I have to completely reinstall ubuntu?tiaRobertMill Valley, CA
Root Login = Overrated *YES*But Admin Mode is bugged, so is it possible to login as root in Kubuntu?
I'm a picky kind of guy. I noticed that the gnome theme when running a program as root is different than running a program as a regular user. How can i change the gnome theme of the root user?
I am toying with the idea of moving both my kids computers to use Ubuntu, possible Feisty when it becomes final.One thing about Ubuntu I don't like is sudo.I've read how to change this for Edgy, and am curious if it will work for Feisty when complete?My reasoning, is that I don't need them installing software, changing print settings, and such. Also, I set them up to use a proxy filter to protect their eyes from the nasties of the internet. I want to keep root control over their proxy settings.So, is it possible, and is this How-To for Edgy still valid?
If I just burn it as ISO?
I have a problem and I am not able to fine answer anywhere. Google it but could not fined much information about it.I have a SLAX USB key that when booted automatically runs some diagnostic and hardware test, puling out some info (using hdparm) etc. By default SLAX boots and uses root account so no problem mounting, unmounting, kreating folders in / etc. automatically directly from the scripts.Currently I am trying to switch to Ubuntu Mini Remix 11.04 (i386) as it has better support for the new hardware (example: SLAX does not see HDD when in IDE mode if it is connected to SandyBridge (DQ67SW

I was setting up an in-house file server and development sandbox and decided to try the Ubuntu 7.10 Server Edition. After installing Ubuntu 7.1 Server I was surprised to find that the user that was created during the install process did not have SU privileges; su and sudo did not work for this user; and there was no root login. Also, I wanted a GUI X-terminal desktop.I found an excellent screen by screen install procedure at Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) LAMP Server Installation with Screenshots -- Debian Admin for 6.1 and 7.1 seemed to be the same as far as the screens go. At the end of the proc
I dont know what i changed but im getting a "no root login screen error allow" on the Gui on my fed5. how do i enable root to login. Im now logged in as a regular user how do i change it back.
I need to know how to enable root privileges in snes9x emulator, so I can enter fullscreen.Actually, I use the GUI frontend (snes9express), and in the Video options menu, many options are grayed out because I'm not "the owner".I wish it was as easy as creating an Administrator account like in Windows, and just providing permissions when applicable, but, unfortunately, it is not.So, how to become root? I won't edit anything that might provide a security problem, but I need those privileges for many things. Also, I am the only user on this computer, so I don't need to worry about other

I'm trying to enable root access to ssh via a key for backup purposes. I understand this is a bad idea but if someone can offer an alternative method of being able to run a dirvish/rsync backup of remote host I'd like to hear it.Anyway in my sshd_config I have set "PermitRootLogin without-password"I verified my /etc/pam.d/ssh does not disable root login.I generated keys and put them in appropriate places. Originally when I tried to ssh, it would say reverse lookup failed. I added an entry to my /etc/hosts to fix that.I restarted sshd but now when I try to ssh root@myhost, my /var/log
ATTN: if you are looking for an appindicator for ubuntu that will give the basic functionality (on/off) as well as other things, check out the Displex project at https://sourceforge.net/p/displex New Release -- v. 0.7.2 Version 0.7.2 is BETA. OK. If you are an ACERHK user, this package is a huge step forward. The package SHOULD build the driver from source now _successfully_. The source code is included in the /usr/share/acerhkgui for the acerhk driver. PLEASE provide feedback... especially if it works for you. I have tried to test it as best as possible, to include removing the compiled drive
