This article is about how to log in to GUI under the Fedora 10 system. I think it is very practical, so I share it with you. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

Fedora 10 after a long period of development, Linux course training, can also be used as a reference for the majority of Linux users and Linux system self-learning, many users know Fedora 10 very well, here I publish a personal understanding, and discuss with you.

Happen to find that in the GUI login window of Fedora 10, when you log in with root, you will be prompted to say "unable to authenticate user". You can log in normally when you go to the CLI interface, and you can also log in to Terminal. Or you can use putty to log on. I found this passage on Fedora's wiki:

Fedora is a multi-user operating system. Multiple users, each with different access privileges, can be logged into the computer at the same time.

During installation, you provided a password for the system administrator account, sometimes called the superuser. The username for this account is root.

After installation, Fedora asked you to set up a normal user account. Use that account, or another normal account, for daily use of the system. And the root account for administrative and maintenance tasks.

This design has many benefits:

Limited privileges reduce the possibility of doing significant damage to the entire system.

Each user account has individual settings.

Each user account maintains its data separate and private from others.

A problem in one user account does not put the entire system at risk.

Do not login as root

Do not use the root account for routine purposes. A normal user account can run all desktop applications, and greatly increases your security and safety. Applications that require root privileges prompt you for the root password when they start, so you need not login as root to use them.

The translation is:

Fedora 10 is a multi-user operating system. Different users have different permissions and can log on to the computer at the same time. During the installation process, you provide a password for the system administrator account, sometimes called superuser. The user name of this account is root. After installation, Fedora 10 will ask you to set up a regular user account. This account or other general account is used for the daily use of the computer, and the root account is used for management and maintenance.

This design has many benefits: restricted access reduces the possibility of large-scale damage to the entire system, each user account has individual settings, each user account maintains its own data and does not disclose a user account to other accounts. the problem of not exposing a user account does not put the whole system at risk.

Do not log in with root

Do not use your root account for general purposes under Fedora 10. A regular account can run all desktop programs and can greatly improve your confidentiality and security. Programs that require root permissions will prompt you for your root password at startup, so you don't need to log in as root to use them. It seems that the GUI login of root is deliberately disabled because the permission of root is too large. A way to get root to log on to GUI can also be found online, but I didn't try it for security reasons.

The above is how to log in to GUI under the Fedora 10 system. The editor believes that there are some knowledge points that we may see or use in our daily work. I hope you can learn more from this article. For more details, please follow the industry information channel.
