I must have switched from user to Root last week while in Konsole.
Now, every time that I enter the regular Konsole (not the Terminal Program
-Super User Mode) it asks for my password and logs me in as Root.
How can I convince Konsole to let me log in as user again?
I am using openSUSE 10.3

Thanks,

Godzilla

like to launch konsole, or once kosole is opened, the terminal type is
the super user mode and needs roots credentials?

if its an ownership issue of something in $HOME/.kde then `chown -R
$USER $HOME/.kde*` that directory.

if its a setting inside of konsole then "Session" from the top "New
Linux Console" and in this new window/tab click on "Settings" at the
top, and "Save as Default"

that should do the trick.

Thanks for the input, but neither approach worked. The ownership of Konsole
was already set to this user, rather than Root. "Save as Default" ignored
the command and entering Konsole the next time again brought up the Root
prompt. But, I shall keep scratching my head for something that I have
overlooked.

okay, try, "Settings" -> "Configure Konsole.." -> the "Session" tab
and assuming that the Highlighted 'Session' in the lower right hand box,
is _Your_ default, which is _the_ "Linux Console", make sure it is
highlighted, and the field at the top "Execute:", ensure that it is
'bash' or the like, not something like 'su -',
then click the "Save Session" button and the "OK" to exit the
configuration.
and just to confirm this, you can then open a new tab/session from the
menu, specifically choosing the "Linux Console" session. once it opens
(not as root) close the open tabs/sessions and "Settings" -> "Save as
Default"
