suse 8.2 logon problem
Hello,
I just installed Suse 8.2 and it asks me for a user name and password Upon installing suse it asked for a root password which I gave it there was no spot where to input a user name anywho....I'm at the GUI and it is prompting me for a user name and password I have tried a variety of things such as no user name and the root password etc etc etc nothing works....i think i may be missing something?? HALp! thanks |
sign in as root, using the root password...then open a terminal such as xterm or konsole, and at the prompt, type adduser and that will walk you through creating a new user profile and password for yourself...

thx
worked great, appreciate the help! thx!

no problem...welcome to LQ, btw...:)

By the way,...
Don't log in graphically as root anymore,... You can do too much damage that way. Rather use su from a console for a command line program or kdesu to launch a graphical program... It's better that way. |
