Use root to log on to fedora Gui

Source: Internet
Author: User

I installed a fedora on the Virtual Machine and encountered a problem while logging on. I couldn't log on as root. At first I thought it was my wrong password, and then I re-installed it again, I deeply remember my root password, but still cannot log on. Later I checked it. It turned out that due to the security concerns of fedora, it is generally not possible to directly log on to the graphic interface using the root user. You can use the following methods to enable

Open

ApplicationProgram(Applications)-> System Tools-> Terminal)

Enter the command: su

Enter the root password

Enter the command: VI/etc/pad. d/TPD

Go to the VI editor and set "auth required pam_succeed_if.so user! = Root quiet "add a # sign before this line to comment it out

Press ESC to enter VI command mode input: WQ

 

Then enter the command VI/etc/pad. d/TPD-password.

Comment out "auth required pam_succeed_if.so user! = Root quiet"

Save and exit.

In this way, you can use the root logon graphic interface.
