Hi,
Is it possible to log in as root just after booting ? I only get my non-root user as a possible user. On OS13.2 and before there was a possibility to type the username. Now it seems you can only graphically select users, and root is not available (that I know of).
Thanks,
Koenraad.
If you are using "kdm", you can configure it through the systems setting "system administration/Login Screen", by default its configured to be excluded. "ssdm" doesn't give you that option at all
Hi,
I'm sorry to have caused such a hubub ;-). The reason to log in as root is that as a regular user I lost my taskbar on the LVDS screen of my laptop. I wanted to log in as root and make another user to see what differs from the original user. In the mean time I know how to get the taskbar back. Maybe not orthodox, but it works : I attached my VGA monitor, deleted the old taksbar (fixed on the VGA-screen) and created a new one on the LVDS screen.
Thanks anyway,
Koenraad.

We have root as a GUI login in OEM images we make via KIWI. After the system is installed from our OEM image, our current software is added. But this is not as part of the OEM install because the OEM images are rather long-tern, while our software is more frequently updated. So we keep these two activities separate. Our software puts things in /etc/skel that we want all users to get. So we would like the user to be made after our software is added. Having our users log in non-graphically as root ("What's a virtual terminal?") and run a command line is not safer than letting them have a GUI login. At least in the GUI they have some idea what is going on. Not so the command line. Such is the state of many Linux users today. We asked for a Linux desktop. Now we have one. Most users want to forget the command line. (Not me. But I am strange in these parts...) -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
