I have openSUSE Leap 42.2 and kdm4 display manager. I would like to login to kde 4 session as root. (I have to unmount /home partition for maintaining, therefore I can't login as normal user and use su, kdesu etc, still I want to work in GUI.)
If I try to login as root the login process starts but in a few moments it stops and it gives back the login window. ... How could I trace and fix this?
I have no idea how to fix. I can't try to recreate because all my 42.2s use either KDM3 or TDM and can recall no such trouble with them. Are you sure the kdmrc you found is the only one on the system? You can check if the one you found is the right one by making another edit: find #UseTheme=true and change true to false to test. What happens if you login as root on one of the vttys and try 'startx -- :1'? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
