I have just installed KDE for the second time and I keep getting this when I try to login as Root "Root login is not allowed". I had to create a regular user login that doesn't have admin rights. Is there anyway I can fix this problem or is there a way I can my regular account admin rights?

RE: KDE Root login problem

Is your user in the "wheel" group? Check in /etc/group

Yes it is. Root is in there also.

RE: KDE Root login problem

Are you trying to login as root at the login manager?
some distributions have disabled that option to prevent users from login in as root.

They do that because it is not a good idea to start kde as root.
