rcm Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Hi , I just added a resporitory in adept . It was the" deb "upfront missing, now i can't start adept any longer. I located the file with the list of repositories opened with Kate and am able to change what i want ....except one thing i am not root . Whenever i try to save the "repaired" respository i get the message that i don't have the "Rights" to do this.... anybody knows a workaround? I am running kubuntu 6.06 ... Thanks in advance, rcm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulaphat Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 (edited) Have you tried starting Kate from the command line using "kdesu kate"? This should allow Kate to save files that require root permissions. Edited September 7, 2006 by Sulaphat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcm Posted September 7, 2006 Author Share Posted September 7, 2006 Have you tried starting Kate from the command line using "kdesu kate"? This should allow Kate to save files that require root access. Sulaphat , yes i did resolve it with kdesu kate ...found the advise on Kubuntu forum....but thanks anyways... still found it a bit strange to have no "root' as such on kubuntu...but i am getting used to it. One more thing i tried to run Thaisoftware Dictionary on Kubuntu but cant' get any Thai fonts to display...it is installed with Wine ...i did the same on suse but there it displays the thai fonts. Any suggestions? thx, rcm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulaphat Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 rcm, Here is a way to restore root logins in Kubuntu: #sudo passwd root Enter the password you would like for root. Then you need to edit the file /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc. #kdesu kate /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc Then edit the part that looks like this. # Allow root logins? # Default is true AllowRootLogin=false Change "false" to "true", save and log out. On the Thai font issue, have you installed Thai fonts using the font installer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
