Danny, That was brilliant!! Just what I had missed. It now 'switches' to root just as it used to. Many thanks Phillip On Thursday 29 July 2004 14:47, Danny Sauer wrote:

Have a problem switching to root from normal KDE.
Am Running SuSE 9.1 and generally works well. From the normal user I sometimes need to change to root to install software etc. So, I 'switch user' from the KDE menu. Instead of getting the root screen I get YAST appearing. It used to 'switch' to root and I don't know of anything that has changed recently. Any ideas someone please.....
I don't suppose that your last session logging in from kdm as root was the "admin" session, was it? I'm pretty sure that it uses the last session type that you logged in under. Select "kde" as the session type, and log in as root. Then log out, log in as your normal user, and try the switch user thing. That may work better...
