For su, have you tried: sudo su or: sudo su - or possibly (but unlikely if it actually says it's not found): su - Also, try the full path to su, /bin/su. Otherwise, do you have /sbin/sulogin? You might be able to: sudo sulogin or /usr/bin/sudo /sbin/sulogin or whatever path those are on if they're there. For that matter, have you tried: whereis su Also, not sure if it's possible in Fedora, but can you open a virtual terminal, say ctrl-alt-f2 and log in as root? If so, retry all the things listed above. If you can find su check the permissions. You might need to run something like chmod a+x /bin/su On Wed, 2011-01-05 at 08:15 -0500, Walt wrote:

I'm having issues with my Fedora 13 laptop; su command not found, yumex gives 'unknown error' then backend not running as expected (yumex will close)
Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks! Walt -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/
