Konsole always give SuperUser Konsole - can't get regular shell
Hello guys and gals!
Let me give you a little background: I've got Debian 4 with a KDE Desktop installed. (Fresh install I might add) I went into the menu to start up a root konsole (there is typically a regular user shell konsole and a super user konsole selection). I changed some fonts, visible bell, background color, foreground color, and "Save as Default". Now, even when I try to open just a regular user shell konsole I always get a super user konsole. It's not a huge problem because I use root a lot to do stuff (setting up, etc) but it bugs the you-know-what out of me. I want to be able to just hit the konsole icon and start typing away as the regular user. Anyone had this problem? I was looking for a file I could alter to change it all back to normal so I don't have to re-install just for that. I looked all through the /usr/share/apps/konsole/* files and nothing special there. I may have missed something tho. I tried apt-get remove --purge konsole, and re-installing konsole to see if all the config files would get re-written, but that didn't change a thing. Any pointers? Thanks. |
Well, default means default. So set up a regular user profile ("session > new linux console" should give you a regular user console) and then save that as default. Then set up the options you want for the root user separately in the "configure konsole > session" preferences. Finally, when you want to open up a root console, call it up from the Session menu or hold down the new tab button until a similar selection menu pops up.

Yeah, I thought of that too. I opened up konsole (got the super user one) opened a new session and did a "save default". I closed konsole and restarted it. Got the super user konsole again.
What I don't get is that to run konsole as super user the command is: Code:
konsole --type su Code:
konsole |
I just man-handled it. I went into menu editor and forced it to change the type it starts as.
Code:
konsole --type linux Makes me wish I could smack the thing. I guess that's also the way to get it to "save default" as a linux console instead of super user konsole. Once I ran "konsole --type linux" and did a "save default" all is back to normal. stupid user. |
