Why on earth are you using a desktop as root, so that you have to su to user?
If konsole drops you to root by default, do not use konsole.
Your system is broken.
Since the sequence with the icons, someone fixed the console problem for me. I don't know who or how, but when I select the console, I get a user login. I can then su to admin if I need to, and exit back to user when done.
But you are not doing that. You said:

Doing that way, it has to fail.
You are not going back to "user", you are su-ing to user.
As I have reported in another post, during the icon fiasco someone sent a command that I implemented which turns the console back into a user console unless I su to root. So every command I input now is automatically implemented as user, unless the system says it requires a root environment, which I can obtain in usual Linux/Unix fashion by su. To be clear, when I log in from a "computer off" start, the console comes up in a user config. I don't know why it ever came up differently, but all the "suggestions" to reinstall would probably come up the same way the original did. I installed from a CD downloaded from the net, just like almost everybody else. I picked this system deliberately because it would not (hopefully ever) require a reinstallation, like so many Linux versions do, and I'm not about to change my mind. (It took me about a week to find and get everything I use installed--another reason not to do it again!) RE sound input: Skype doesn't work in Windows on this machine either, so it's not a function of a bad Suse install. This is a new machine, purchased from Micro Center in Westbury NY just a few months ago. It's called PowerSpec and it was not cheap! If anyone wants an lshw or a dmidecode for this system, I will be happy to send it to him/her off list. The complaints about sound software from the system only started since I upgraded the whole system last week with zypper dup, so I suppose there is a bug in the sound software. It didn't complain for the months previous. --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
