[Ubuntu-BD] root login

[saeed ahmed]

hello friends

i already test it. there is no risk at all. i just change some on gdm.conf
file. the changes are *AllowRoot=false to **AllowRoot=ture. its w*orks fine.
after that you can login every time with root.


i agree with you lenin vai. but having some problem. actually i install
lammp on /opt directory. because i can't run lammp by install it other dir.
but when i install it on /opt/lammp then i can't save files on this
directory with normal user sessions.

friends need suggestion on this matter.

thank you everyone for reading my problem and show me the way.
