kde 3.2 started - no su or root possible ?

[sethleon]

Hello all,

I have just emerge KDE successfully then i rebooted and started it.
I also have the previous versions on my laptop,
I did "emerge -uD world" and it emerged kde 3.2 as New not Update.
I opened the console after logging in,
and wanted to "su",

but as I gave in my root password
it said "su: Permission denied"
I know I gave it in correctly,
because when I log in the usual console (STRL+ALT+F1)
it works.
Also if I try to open a tool that needs root permission,
it says: "password incorrect"

pls can anyone help me

also in the old version still at my laptop, KDE version 3.1.5
no root access (using su, or root pass for applications) is possible

you have to have the user a member of the "whell" group to be able to su -

thx, that's it,

the wheel group,

maybe while etc-update'ing some configurations were lost
as i emerged the new KDE

ensure that your user is also part of:
audio, users

if you had yourself as a member of wheel and now its gone, just check for good measure that your other groups are still present for yourself...

ya, I do, i just added my default user to the groups again using usermod

I just added it to users, audio, wheel, games

if i need more I will just add it to groups the same way

BTW: KDE 3.2 looks and is great, many cool new features
