Hi all,
I am new to FreeBSD and install a virtual machine image for FreeBSD 8 on VMWare Player 3 on a Windows XP PC. I follow the instruction on How to install and configure a FreeBSD 8 Desktop with Xorg and KDE?. I install Xorg and KDE4 successfully on virtual machine. I create a normal account "pigling" and a root account. Following above link, I make a GUI auto login for my normal account. And here comes the problem.
1. I login to KDE and can't use su command. It always tell "Su: sorry" error message.
2. I can't login to KDE with my root account as it will prompt "root account can't be allowed to login" message.
3. I can't login my root account in command shell after reboot as it immediately changes to auto login screen before I can key in anything in command shell.
I try to do something in KDE login center in GUI. But I can't find where it is (can't search that in System). Now the situation is a deadlock. I need root privilege to do change but KDE doesn't let me login as root or use su command in KDE. I can only use it as a normal account. How could I solve this issue? Thanks.
regards,
pigling
