I am coming to Netrunner Rolling from Kubuntu, where the root account is disabled, and all admin tasks are done through sudo.
During installation of NRR, I was prompted for and gave a root password.
I have subsequently been able to do tasks like upgrading using sudo alone:
sudo pacman -Syu
However, IIRC, when using the KDE partitionmanager or octopi, to name two programs, I find that I am asked for the root password (and using my own, as in sudo, does not suffice).
It will be easier overall for me to remember and use a single password rather than two.
Is there any way by which I might revert to using sudo for all tasks, including KDE partitionmanager, octopi, etc.?
If all you want is to have GUI apps use sudo, then you can change gksu and kdesu to use sudo instead of su as described in the wiki page without disabling the root password as well.
