However, what have I missed during the installation? Why am I logged in as root and not as an ordinary user? (This is the same with kubuntu which I installed a few days ago.)
I haven't tried the Beta yet. But this "maybe" the problem.
You must have forgotten to create a normal user. As such, SuSE usually asks to create a new user during the process of installation, which I think is not mandatory. You might have simply bypassed it...and resulting into direct login as root.
Or ...maybe you have created a user, but simply configured YaST to directly log you in as root!
Just random thoughts. ;-)
I've installed Suse enough times to accidentally miss something like this :-) . No, the install last "night" did not give me that opportunity--including setting up the video, tv card etc. The whole section was skipped. I reinstalled it a short time ago and this 'round nothing was missed and I am now logged on as a normal user. Cheers. -- I'm dangerous when I know what I'm doing.
