teacher Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 That means you did an auto-login Colin!That can be on the list of things to fix. Then again, not logging in as root is a good thing. Julia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 Okay let us take care of that first then:Menu --> Configuratiion --> Configure your Desktop ------> System --> Login Manager. Push the "Administrator Mode" button and give your root password . . . . Then on the tab "users" take away the tick in the box in front of "root" . . ( leave "nobody" ticked ) . . . Apply . . . .
