The kdesu usage in systemsettings is the result of a Fedora-specific patch to it, so please report the problem to Fedora. |
Version: 4.1.2 (using KDE 4.1.2) OS: Linux Installed from: Fedora RPMs System: ------- Fedora 9 Used RPM: --------- kdebase-runtime-4.1.2-5.fc9.i386 Observed behavior: ------------------ Calling kdesu via any System Settings that require root privileges, e.g., System Settings->Advanced->Login Manager triggers /usr/libexec/kde4/kdesu -i preferences-system-network-share-windows \ "-c /usr/bin/kcmshell4 kcmsambaconf --lang en_US" which results in an Incorrect password, please try again. error, although the correct password was entered in the kdesu prompt. The same call to kdesu issued from a konsole works. Similar bugs: ------------- Bugs 135645, 78948, 25430, 154355, 154188 describe similar problems. All of those are listed as resolved though. So I'm opening a new ticket - it seems the bug isn't dead after all or it has reappeared in newer KDE versions. Thanks for investigating. Cheers, e2.
