Article Title: Fedora11 cannot log on from the root account. solution. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.
I encountered a problem when studying LVM today. The downloaded fedora11 cannot log on to the gui as a root user, and the permissions of common users are insufficient. Finally, I found this article on the Internet for your reference!
After fedora10, fedora11 still won't allow the root user to log on to the GUI. It still won't work after the fedora 10 method.
In fact, the solution is similar:
In order to log on with the root user, log on to the system tool-terminal with a common user.
Enter the command: su-
Enter the root password (the password is not displayed at this time, enter it directly)
Enter the command: gedit/etc/pam. d/TPD &
Comment out "auth required pam_succeed_if.so user! = Root quiet "(Add" # "before this line to change it to # auth required pam_succeed_if.so user! = Root quiet)
After saving the file, run the following command: gedit/etc/pam. d/TPD-password &
Also Comment out "auth required pam_succeed_if.so user! = Root quiet.
Save and exit
Now you can use root to log on.
