cannot login as root user in xfce .. i cannot access Gdrive folders in thunar file browser after mounting

found a thread here http://en.freelander.es/2011/05/21/xfce-root-login/ > Open a terminal and, as root, edit the file /etc/pam.d/gdm3. Comment out the line that says: “auth required pam_succeed_if.so user != root quiet success”

I cannot run TurboVNC as root user. You can become root on console using su command and you can do ls or cd to the mounted gdrive.

yea but is it possible to run turbovnc as root...

When I tried to run TurboVNC server as root on google colab, it show error. I think there is a security reason behind why TurboVNC server or xfce doesn't run as root.

for temporary fix use sudo thunar it works
