was trying to fix some issues with jack and ardour as per this link here
can someone pls tell what is wrong with the above and how I can fix it now that I can't log in as root. I can login as root through a terminal so am hoping that may help...
The only line that looks even a little strange is:
distcc:x:101:
That line was not created during the SuSE install but otherwise it seems OK to me. Did you put it in by hand? So if you can edit /etc/group from a terminal as root then try deleting the distcc line. If that doesn't work then you can put distcc back the way it is.
Just tried running the System repair utility on the install dvd - and every time it hangs on he check of installed packages at 26/205. Does anyone know what package 26 is?
The double colons didn't do anything - in the end I have decided to go for another reinstall. I've tried so many things now (and silly me haven't recorded them) that I can't remember all the changes I've made - it could be anything now...
Such are the trials and tribulations for a linux noobie - playing with a very flexible system can be dangerous for those playing far beyond their current capabilities...

That is true, but on the other side of that coin? The best low level knowledge of your system, and the ability to learn and make it just the way you want.
