Hello SuSE folkz, I just upgraded my KDE 2.0.1 to 2.1.1 Now every time I log in I see this warning: You are running KDE as root. You have not the default desktop. Please log out and login as user "I don't care about my data. Do not warn me again" Could somebody tell me please how to disable this darn thing. Thank you in advance.

Well, why would you want to run as root all the time? It is *HEAVILY* recommended that you make another user to work with. -- Mads Martin Joergensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogic, with just a little bit more effort." -- A.

Hello Martin, Thank you for your reply. There are certain applications and projects I'm working on that require to be a root on order to run them. Since I'm constantly log in and log out into my KDE session as a root I just got tired with this dorky message. Would it be too much to ask you how to turn off this "friendly warning" permanently? Thank you in advance. Alex On Monday 30 April 2001 06:00 pm, Mads Martin Jørgensen wrote:

How about using 'sudo'? This program allows a user listed in /sudoers to performs tasks as root. I always have the following line in my /etc/sudoers on my workstation: mmj ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL That makes it easy. If you need a root shell just go sudo su -. I even have F7 on my keyboard giving me a fresh root xterm.

No -- not at all. But I have no clue how to do it, and a person should never work as root anyway. -- Mads Martin Joergensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogic, with just a little bit more effort." -- A. P. J.
