X in Root

HadesThunder · 03-17-2004, 06:40 PM

Ive got X running in root. Does anyone know konw how to disable those su password screens that pop up on my box every min while i'm running X in root.

you should not get popups like this when running as the root users

I presume you are running as a regular user

no I am running as root. I have configured x to run me a root instead of user in X. I just want to know how I can get rid of those annoying popups that tell me to log in as admin and type su every two min.

AFAIK, X will never login you automatically as root. Although you can login automatically as a regular user. Maybe you named your user Root

It's asking you for a password FOR root AS root? It's like asking someone whose name is John "Hey John, what's your name?" or "This animal is a dog, what kind of animal is it?"
