Hi! :-)
Does someone know, how can I login as su (root)? I'm autologging in as normal user, and when I have to do administrative tasks (eg. configuring with yast), opensuse asking me, my pwd.
These days, I have to install some devices and their drivers, so I have to copy-paste files to restrictive directories. Not surprisingly, those options (eg. pasting files) are greyed-out and not functional. However, working with bash is always available. Once I'm giving my pwd (and returning to # mode), I can complete my work without any problems or pwd reconfirmations. I'm just wondering if there is a similar way, for working with graphical shell (either with Gnome (which I'm using) or any other), for copy-pasting. I had to do so much keyboarding from the DOS era! :-)
THANKS!!! Giorgos. :-) With KDE, you can configure the menu to require logging in as another user. Just select root. Another way, is to become root, using "sux -" and then starting the desired app from the command line.
