Funny issue with konsole on opensuse

[The_Unbeliever]

Hi there

Don't know what to make of this one - of late when I start up konsole it asks for the root password.

It is supposed not to start up as root, but as a normal user.

Any idea where I can kick so it won't start up as root?

Thanks

Ahh yes, the problem is that you are running opensuse. Switch to any other distro and you should be fine

And no, my comment is not in the least bit helpful.

Long time since I used konsole but isn't there an option to specify what type of session it uses by default? For whatever reason it must be selecting root console.

Are you accessing it through a menu shortcut, if so what is the shortcut?

When you login to open suse.. are you loggin in as root, or as a user?

ls -lah on the konsole directory, check permissions.

When I type in konsole on the "run command" entry of the kde menu, it does that, as well as when I select the menu entry.

Running konsole from the command-line also exhibit the same symptoms.

It would seem to me that the konsole .conf is wonky - where is the general location for these?

That's no support at all. why not rather dump linux and install windows?

I think so, but I don't have running Suse machine right now
