GUI Login for root
Hello,
I've got Fedora 19 LXDE installed but can't log into the root user from the login screen - just end up with an authentication error. Googling around I couldn't find much a solution for 19. There's quite a bit for Fedora versions upto 17. Is there a way to log in as root (GUI) in Fedora 19 LXDE? |
Yes, but you don't want to.

see bottom (similar threads), for example this one: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...or-gui-692177/
root is explicitly blocked. You can unblock it, but you should not.... |
this is getting scary.
But in the current state I can't even setup a new limited user or format a flash disk - everything is SO limited and I'm pretty new to the Fedora commands |
you can use single user mode to add a new user.
Even better: press Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get a console, login as root and add new user. And you can use your GUI as the new user. |

I managed to setup a new user. |
Looks like I still have limitations without a GUI root user.
I'm wanting to setup autologin for the new user I've made and can't figure out how to. Googling comes up with Quote:

probably this helps
