Trihex why would you need to be logged in as root?
it's very dangerous to run apps as root
in this case it means run as root, not login as root

so use sudo -i
sudo -i will allow you to login as root
it's rather a bad idea to run apps as root as it means you have to be in the sudoers list
that's weird. i have ssh setup and it says my pub key cannot be found and yet when i go to it connects just fine. if i switch to another vnc viewer it connects again
if you need a root shell you can boot up as recovery and do that
butterscotchty1: same error
butterscotchty1: it's not only vnc viewer. to install drivers for my wireless adapter i had to be logged in as root. when i try with normal user it says that my public key is not registered with my ssh-server
butterscotchty1: i can log in using su root@server, but it's a very bad idea, so i'd like to solve the problem with the correct solution :D
