If you set up a normal non-root user and give them sudo privileges, you do not _need_ root login inside a GUI. As others have suggested, this is a significant security problem if you wish to run a graphical environment as root. > Even the root cannot give sound output, actually cannot sense the sound card > in Debian 12.1.0. *Which* sound care?

I think you may find similar problems with any of the Debian derivatives which all tend to work the same way. Likewise Fedora and the Red Hat derivatives - all discourage calling a GUI as the root user. > Bye, > Regards,Saurav Sarkar+919830668794 With every good wish, as ever, Andy Cater [[email protected]]
