The OP did not indicate that that root hasn't been enabled. FWIW, the OP indicated that KDE was being used. Unlike a GNOME install, the KDE install does have a prompt for enabling the root user. So, and I should have asked, it wasn't clear if the root was enabled or not. No one else asked that Q. So, it seems, assumptions were being made. > >> FWIW, the "System Settings" process that I'm talking about simply places the >> user in the "wheel" >> group. > > Yes, that's what administrator rights means for a user. I also should have asked "how" the OP lost admin privileges since it was stated by the OP "Removing the privilege has removed my account from sudoers" which is inconsistent with the the "wheel" group assumption. -- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]
