Mandriva 2007.1: Linux slideshow locked?


Setup is greyed out and I am unable to create my own slideshow. Mandrake 10.1 would let me, no problem. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

You need to be root. Also the screen saver may be password protected (root password)

If you have trouble logging as root to a gui, select login to console, login as root, then type startx.

ctrl+alt+backspace will exit the system and you can log back in as a user.

Hope this helps, Glenn
