Description Kevin Murche 2008-07-03 11:25:10 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.0.83)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

I'm running Kubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Alpha1 64 bit on an AMD64 PC.
When I try to install additional packages via the Kickstart menu (selecting either Add/Remove programs item), I get the 'Run as root - KDE su' window suggesting I need to install adept.  If I enter no password or my login password, 'invalid password' is displayed.  I have not set up a root password.
This may be related.  I seem to have no means of updating packages via the menus (is this due to adept not being installed ?)  I can however install updates via the bash terminal.  If I scroll over Adept Notifier it tells me that I have 8 updates, I try to install these via terminal and the updates are ignored.  The Adept Notifier still tells me I have 8 available updates, even if I reboot and then try to perform a new install of the updates.  If I right click on the notifier I only have options About and Quit.  A left click does nothing.

Closing as invalid.  This is a distro issue, you can report it to launchpad.net/ubuntu or better as for support (http://kubuntu.org/support.php)
