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.
Then explain this:

(I can explain it. I want you to explain it.)
I can't explain it. This appears to have been something from some days ago, when someone asked me to run the cammand pactl something or other, at a time while I still had the root login on console. I don't know what it was supposed to do, but I'm pretty sure it did not.
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!)
We told you on that thread that you have the wrong repositories.
I have no idea what repositories I have, nor do I know how to find out-- you think you know more about this system than I do, but you seem to think I have leap installed. I don't. I have tumbleweed installed. I have whatever repositories that tw installed at system installation. --doug>
For the record, you don't have to reinstall Leap every time there is a new version. I have *never* reinstalled this system, which goes back to 2009 with 11.0, at least as far as logs go. I think it goes back to 7.3 or perhaps 6.1, doing updates each time.
The procedure had complications back them, but it is almost trivial within a major Leap version.
