Hi all,
Since I started with Linux years ago, I've always used the XFCE desktop (that is, xubuntu).
And, I always login and run as root. Before you start yelling at me, let me say frankly that it's MY machine, I'll run it the way I want, and if I screw something up, it's MY problem, so please don't even bother with the "you shouldn't run as root" stuff.
With that said, I downloaded Kubuntu 14.04 (64 bit), booted it from a USB stick and installed it to a test hard drive.
Of course, I can "sudo su" to run as root, but I haven't been able to find out how to have the root account show in the greeter.
Anyone know how to do this? I'm sure I could figure it out myself, but why bother if the procedure is already known?
Thanks,
-- Roger
