(I use Gnome; but the KDE terminal, which is very hard on my aged eyeballs, does work.) There you're over my head, alas! Yes. I did, and tried "su test", then telling btth's kde terminal "gnome-terminal &". (I'll log out and back in in a minute) It flashed a message, and opened what looks like a gnome terminal, with a working prompt -- a btth prompt, *not* test's -- . Closing that, I found the message still on the kde terminal: ===== [test@localhost btth]$ [gnome-terminal:15784): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to the session manager: Authentication Rejected, reason: None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed. ===== It did not give a new prompt at that point. I hit ^c. It displayed a blank line, then ===== [1]+ Done gnome-terminal [test@localhost btth] ===== I told it exit, and it gave me ===== exit [1]+ Done xterm and then my normal btth prompt Stay tuned. I'll log out, and back in as test. -- Beartooth Autodidact, curmudgeonly codger learning linux Remember I know precious little of what I'm talking about!
