it seems that mandriva doesn't like me as root.
i just made a fresh install, set up root password and so on, but just when i've started -i bumped into problem. i can't log in as root.
inside the konsole, typing sudo -i and all the other combos, password is required and given. but no matter what, it's not recognized...
i've tried to reset and set a new one, but nothing so far - stuck with the root/sudo password
I had this problem once turned out that when I entered it the first time caps lock was on so instead of MyPassword I got mYpASSWORD. Try typing in your password with caps lock on.
my password consists on digits only, so CAPS isn't really the problem here
Are you able to use su or su - as regular user to gain root permissions?
Problem solved, i just needed to edit the sudoers list.
thanks for any help:)
Glad you are back up and running! :)
