I was told there were some issues with the current root-tail package and I have an RPM that works. Anyone who wants it can pick it up here: http://www.whack.org/~ben/stuff/roottail-SuSE71-0.0.10-6.i386.rpm It works for me under KDE 2.1 .. so it should work for everyone. I did nothing special. * Thomas Bishop (tb64710@alltel.net) [010308 11:30]: =>Hello, =>Anyone gotten root-tail to display on their desktop? I use (after su) =>root-tail -f -g 80x25 -100-100 /var/log/messages. Worked with KDE1.1.2 but =>not 2.0. Kinda liked seeing what was going on. I get no error message, and =>ps aux shows it's running, but nothing on my desktop.
