I just learned I can not login as root on one of my systems (upgraded 9.1). I can login as root on the other upgraded 9.1. One thing I noticed is that the kdm login screen says SUSE Linux 9.0.
That's really weird. They didn't change that until 9.1. In 9.0 it was still SuSE
It probably is SuSE, I just copied the SUSE from the kdm login screen on the system I can login as root on.
1. How do I tell which version of SUSE I'm running?
cat /etc/SuSE-release
but you may have a half/half system, with packages not upgraded. Try
rpm -qa --qf "%{Name} %{Distribution}\n" |grep -v 9.1
It seems to me this command checks the rpm db for 9.1 rpms. But here is some of the output I get: kdenetwork3-dialup SuSE Linux 9.0 (i386) permissions SuSE Linux 9.0 (i586) kdepim3 SuSE Linux 9.0 (i386) python-pylirc (none) zope-PlacelessTranslationService (none) a52dec SuSE Linux 8.2 (i586) scribus (none) feynmf SuSE 9.0 kdegames3-card SuSE Linux 9.0 (i386) kdelibs3-devel-doc SuSE Linux 9.0 (i386) kdeadmin3 SuSE Linux 9.0 (i386) kdenetwork3-InstantMessenger SuSE Linux 9.0 (i386) Yet: :~> cat /etc/SuSE-release SuSE Linux 9.1 (i586) VERSION = 9.1 Does this mean the system is half and half?
2. Are there log messages or commands that would give me a clue why I can't login? 3. Anyone know how to fix this?
It's not broken. The default in 9.1 is to not allow root to log in graphically through kdm.
If you *really* must, then change it in yast's security settings.
I can't see how using yast, I tried. I'll bet you know.
But you never *really* must
I may really *must*:-). I can't access my firewire drive since the upgrade and I wanted to login as root to see if I had access to the drive as root. Looking for the way through, Jerome
