Version: (using 3.5.8-19.fc8 Fedora, Fedora release 8 (Werewolf)) Compiler: Target: i386-redhat-linux OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.23.14-115.fc8 The short description sums up my problem. I have tried making use of the administrators button several times, restarting my pc between attempts, but get the same message, "loading.." I am signed in as root when trying to use admin. priv. \\\regards Bob
sounds familiar ... this could be a launching problem with kdesu, some xembed problem in kcontrol or kdesu or whatever ... do you get the root password entry dialog?
I get the same thing on 3 separate installations of SUSE 10.3 kernel 2.6.22.17 w/KDE 3.5.7 "Release 72.6". Versions tab in YAST says 3.5.7-87.5. If I don't do any security upgrades and leave the fresh install from DVD, it works. Either the second or third security update breaks it. cheers, ben
I meant to also add that all components with an Adminstrator mode exhibit the same "feature" of a red framed gray panel displaying the message "Loading...."
This is due to Flash9 fix that OpenSuse applied, but it regressed functionality in kcmshell. This is later fixed in kdelibs/kdebase 3.5 branches. OpenSuse should grab the proper fix. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 155001 ***
