Can't access root Operations
I recently installed Fedora 2, my first time installing a Linux system. In the midst of trying to set up python all operations that require root authorization stopped working (installing programs, changing the time, several control panels). If I attempt to do any of these things, nothing happens if I am logged in as the root. If I am not logged in as the root it will ask me for my root password before doing nothing.
Any idea what is going on? Nate |
can you get to your logs?
open a terminal su root password tail -f /var/log/messages If you can get in there, you might see what the hangup is... |
