two questions

[mike]

Hi, Okay, I removed the pulse stuff, but I still see no volume control in the top panel when I rebooted. Is there something else I have to do?
   2, Has anyone found out how to enable the root account in karmic? I have had no luck doing this. I need it, because I loos speech when ever I download and try to install a package. I loose speech after typing my password for the package installer. I know this works from the root account.
Mike.
