Subject: Root Session - from Shell command
Date: Thu, 05 Jul 2007 14:08:13 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1183644493.115835.274090@m37g2000prh.googlegroups.com> (raw)

I want to, or am trying to edit my grub menu in emacs so am trying to
login as root from the shell command within emacs. Is this possible ?

I keep receiving the message -

standard in must be a tty.

I am launching emacs largely from the Kmenu.

Workaround :
I can have emacs as a root session if I start konsole and su to root
from there and then launch emacs.
So maybe I need to edit my bash profile to allow emacs access to the
shell ???
