Re: Root
I changed the root password via the shell and I can su no problem, but some times I can't use this password with the GUI ie. when I change the time clock or start adept, and on some other apps I can use my user password, it is very confusing to me, I am more used to the 'normal' type of security that allows root logon.Do you Yahoo ? No I hiccup only :P

sudo kate /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc
find the option:
AllowRootLogin=false
and change to:
AllowRootLogin=true
Save, End KDE Session and logon as root in the new KDE session
