Yeah, like I said, I am guessing on a lot of this.. This setting in particular just boggles my mind and leaves me shaking my head with wonder at how Linux gurus have come to love such obtuse parameters... I have NO idea what devmode, busmode, and listmode mean! Don't want to know, and don't want to have to learn. I just want an easy to use interface with a simple model on how to establish and set permissions! So yeah, I get aggressive about shutting off security whenever I encounter it. LOL
Sorry, I'm a command line guy. I think that the GUIs you find friendly hide the details that I want to see. With the command like I can go anywhere, do anything, see everything. With the GUI I can only see and do what the GUI designer decided to let me see and do. I'm sure that if you keep flipping between Dolphin and Yast systemsettings and other things that are GUI you can do all this, with pretty icons and pull down lists. In whatever colour scheme and icon scheme you like. And when you shut off security all over the place you are going to end up with other troubles. If you keep saying you want to be ignorant then you'll find people her reluctant to help you. The security is there for a purpose, as even Microsoft is now admitting. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
