I was trying to view the message logs but can't because I don't have root permission. How can I get root permission to view the logs while in Konqueror? Sorry for the newbie question, but I have looked and searched, but found nothing.
to run Konqueror as root. But this is rather dangerous. You could also use this service menu item I wrote some time ago for a poster on this forum with a similar question, which may be of better use for you. Just right click the log file you want to view, go to Actions and open it as the root user.
This would work great! Just one problem: I followed the directions in putting the file in the servicemenus, then closed konqueror and restarted it. But it appears not to work. I right clicked on the /var/log/message log and "open as root" was not in the box. I must have missed something. Any ideas? By the way, this is really what I was hoping to come up with.
You looked into the Actions submenu, right? It says Open as user... and then you can enter a username (root).
But maybe closing Konqueror was not sufficient, perhaps an instance is left behind in the background (that is normal behavior though). Try to run 'killall konqueror' (make sure you're not doing anything important in Konqueror) and then restart Konqueror and check if the item appeared in the Actions submenu.
1. Does ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/openas.desktop really exist?
2. Try to run kbuildsycoca as your own user and try again
3. You could put the *.desktop file in $KDEDIR/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus as well.
As you can see, I don't really know what the problem is.
Okay, I got to checking to make sure the file was in the right location and noticed that you had called the file "openas.desktop". The actual file name was openas.php. So I remaned it to openas .desktop, and now this is what I get:

This option opens a box that lets me select the user, change it to root, then it ask for the root password. This is much better!
