How do I open Deja Dup as root?
I want to use the deja-dup gui to backup (the one with the black safe icon). I prefer to do this as root user, not as a normal user. When I enter root as username in Login screen and the correct password, the cursor just spins and won't let me in.
I can't recall whether this happened before. Is there something new in Precise that prevents this. I am fully aware of super user security issues, but I think backups should be done as root.
