1/ I would say, something like this:
kdesu -u root -- su - root -c xterm
I don't know kdesu though so I made up the above line, by supposing that:
- kdesu takes its user from the -u parameter, and
- kdesu uses -- to mark the end of its own options and the beginning of the command.
You'll have to adapt to what the man page says.

Well that got me to scratching my head and it turns out that all i need is
konsole --type su
Thanks!

2:- put a localhost name in localhost (open MCC, network/internet, change network settings). Log user of and log in again.
Absolutely *love* your avatar!!!!!!
That did it!
Thanks!!!

Instead of using the Optional menus / terminal sessions / root shell terminal,
I would like to execute it from the task bar. What would I execute? I have tried /bin/bash in terminal, do not close, execute as root... but I am not quite there... It comes up in the user's directory instead of the root directory, even though I specify /root/ for the work path.

EDIT: second question: how do I get the system to not put my IP addy in the prompt?

hey John, how come you're still using v3, or is that just the title. V5 is out.
Yes! A cooker forum on MUB!!! Great!!!!!

I believe I heard that doing a cooker update will fix it. Apparently something about HAL ...

Great that you now have a cooker department!!!
!!!2006.0.5 (RC2) is doing well. Still occasional probs with the KDE aborting on logout, but other than that... Plus the DVD shell works again (I had had probs with it on the 2006.0.1,2,3 CDs)

2006.0.5 (RC2) On this release, tvtime insists on setting the volume (line) to 50% on tvtime startup, whereas I would like it at 80%. Didn't have this prob with previous releases.
Thoughts?

When I installed it, it seemed to install nothing from CD2, and I got a bit of a stripped system. No firefox was the main thing missing which I installed with MCC. but I don't know or have forgotten how to install an rpm . Double clicking on it doesn't work. How can I install it with console (just Java and FileLight)

EDIT Wish MUB had a cooker forum.....

I personally did not fix it. I suspect that the snapshots which became the Sept6 and 8 releases were taken from a cooker that had part of something, but not yet part of something else. By Sept 11 (maybe earlier), it was fixed. That is, I installed the Sept 6 version, updated it to cooker current a/o Sept 11, and tested it and there were no probs. The dependencies were changed for the mplayer...12mdk install between Sept 8 and Sept 11. Particularly,
libxorg-x11-6.9-0.cvs20050907.1mdk
was at first present, and then thankefully gone. Probably there for testing. Also note that the kern changed from 2.6.12-11 to 2.6.12-12 somewhere in there. Also there were some 168 program reinstalls that had to be done in cooker update. A VERY active time!!!

A tip for those who update via cooker and are using an nvidia video card. When you update the 4 or 5 xorg rpms you will find that the Nvidia logo comes up as normal after you reboot but you still cannot log-in, but get an error message instead. To fix this you need to reinstall the nvidia driver again as originally done even though it is using the same driver again. You will also need to open vi or vim again and again remake the recommended change in /etc/X11/xorg.conf namely change "nv" to "nvidia".
Hey John, I installed Sept 6 version of 2004.0.4 and updated cooker to today. That borked my Nvidia and I wound up at a prompt. I couldn't re-install Nvidia because my source is now 2.6.12-12 whereas my /lib/modules is still at 2.6.12-11
Thoughts?

EDIT: got it - installed kern 12-12

Well before I installed 2006 beta3 it was working only 78% on my system,now I installed 2006 beta 4 it works 95%.
What is not working right is when I go to KDE CONTROL MODULE and go shutdown.I see Allow shutdown Local NOBODY,change to everybody and click on APPLY it will work few times but later day I return the same problem again,I can not use restart my system.
I have two HD one HD is win98 and the other HD is winXPpro with 2006 beta 4,so I like to restart,I can`t so again I have to go to shutdown........
How can I solve the problem?
Mandriva-user
Not sure - 78% of what... 95% of what...?
On your shutdown prob, make sure you have set Configure your Desktop/System/Login Manager/Users tab correctly.
Just a thought.

Be sure you check Bugzilla for this and if there is no report of it, please file a bug.

I tryed one sound file like KSCD,AMAROK.....it`s not working very good so I try KAFFEINE work`s rock solid.
Sound files work fine. You misunderstand the prob. Sorry...
Kristi

As far as a DVD/movie player, I use xine and love it. mplayer also works well for that. My objection to kaffeine is that is seems to auto start when I put in a DVD, so I just delete it.

Do you also have trouble using the online update feature? And i don't seem to get 3d acc for my 9600 XT to work. But other than that 2006 look marvelous!
I've never used the online update feature. Sorry...
Don't know anything about Radeon, either. Sorry...

Thanks John!! That did the trick!
Full duplex was not checked so I checked it and I'll see if that makes any difference.
It is only .12mdk version of mplayer that caused me probs. I had installed it in case firefox needed it for something. I use xine for DVD's etc. The .10mdk version of mplayer does not cause me probs with NWN.
Yes, I dual boot to 2005LE, and yes, it is rock solid!!!
Thanks!!!
Kristi :D

Basically looks very good so far...
1. On install first progress bar wraps screen - looks sloppy. Very minor.
2. No KDE startup sound. Not major but would be nice to know how to enable it.
EDIT: Fixed in cooker by Sept 11. To change, Configure your Desktop /LookNFeel /System Notifications Event Source, KDE System Notifications, KDE is starting up. Set to sound of your choice.
3. Critical: mplayer-1.0-1.pre7.12mdk causes NeverWinter Nights to crash which hoses system. Like totally! (see separate thread) I believe it affects the sound system. mplayer-1.0-1.pre7.10mdk seems okay.
EDIT 3. was fixed in cooker by Sept 11.

cx8800 and now cx88xx drivers?
in Cooker
Posted · Edited by kristi
I'm experiencing a not-play-nice situation with my cx8800 tv card and my spca webcam driver. I have not tried this since i did it successfully in March (2.6.x kern) and wrote up directions for MUB. Now, it appears that there is both a cx8800 and a cx88xx driver listed on lsmod (though only cx880 makes it to modules), and the addition of a spca driver is just too much for it (v4l) to handle as it seems not to be able to find cx8800 when I start tvtime (tvtime gives me "No space left on device
Cannot open capture device /dev/video0" when the pccam is plugged in). The cx8800 driver is part of 2.6.x kern. I am guessing that something there has changed over the months. Any ideas what to do or whom to contact?
