mattie Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Hi, since today, I get an "Run as root - KDE su" box after KDE is started. The command is "konqueror 'session' '117f000......' etc (It doesn't fit in the window). Has anyone encountered the same problem? I don't know what it's needed for.. I can only remember to have installed Gimp 2.0 and shorewall.. There is nothing special in my KDE Autostart folder.. Any tips? mattie screenshot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 You probably had an instance of konqueror running as root on one of your recent logouts. KDE by default tries to restore your session. You can stop this by going ahead and entering your root password there and starting konqueror, then close it once it fully opens and then log out and back in again.

chris z Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 in addition to Steve's suggestion, you can also go to KControl (IE: Configure Your Desktop)->components->session manager & check the "start with an empty session" box if you want to prevent things like that from happening again. checking that option doesn't mean that you'll lose all your desktop settings, it just prevents apps that you may have left running at reboot/shutdown from restarting next time you log into KDE.

mattie Posted January 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 apologies for late reply, email notification did not work :/ thanks for the suggestions! it is resolved (it was indeed probably some root konqueror instance, I tried once to run konqueror as root, but never saw the window, hence I thought it was not possible) mattie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
