Authentification as root fails in GDM
Hi
I need help with my gdm. Everytime I try to enter my root password in gdm he sais it's wrong. It doesn't work neither on the loginscreen (although AllowRoot is set to true) nor when I try to enter the loginscreen options nor when I try to su in a console nor when a programm asks me for my password. I've entered it like 40 times and it's definitely not wrong. It works very well at the terminals. I don't know further and really need your help. Many thanks in advance! |
If it doesn't work in all of those, you are not entering the currect root password.
|
As far as 'su' is concerned, are you sure your user is allowed to 'su' (is member of necessary group)?
|
Yes I had to put the user in the wheel group
Thank you :) |
Always happens :)
|
Once again... I reinstalled gdm and it doesn't work again,
but this time my user already is in the wheels group and I can su on the console... |
