From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.4; Linux) KHTML/3.4.1 (like Gecko) Description of problem: When I changed /etc/sysconfig/desktop from DESKTOP="GNOME" to DESKTOP="KDE" DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE"...the KDE login manager hardly worked at all with my settings. I had used this exact change in /etc/sysconfig/desktop before with my previous EL3 system and it worked flawlessly; however, with Fedora Core 4, when I would try to login as root, it would give an error messsage "no root logins allowed" and the background picture that I had selected did not show up. It looked as if Gnome's display manager was fighting with KDE's, as the login page still had the look of GNOME. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. change /etc/sysconfig/desktop to reflect KDE as Desktop and Display Manager 2. Reboot 3. try to login as root Actual Results: error message "no root logins allowed" Expected Results: login as root Additional info:
Can you please provide more info on what the problem really is? The fact that GUI root logins are not allowed by default is not a bug, i reckon. It should be possible to customise this behaviour, even if not very advisable. For the rest of the report, i will need more details on what is the problem.
Closing due to lack of response from reporter.
