This seems like an issue with the Software Sources app, which comes from Ubuntu, not us. You'll need to report this to them. |
SUMMARY Discover: Not possible to change package sources because root password rejected STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Boot and run system as normally done. Discover is started during boot process automatically and residing in taskbar. 2. In KDE desktop window: open Discover from taskbar. 3. Switch to "Settings" -> Software Sources". 4. A pop up windows is shown "Als root ausführen - KDE-SU" ("execute as root - KDE-SU"). command: /usr/bin/software-properties-kde 5. Enter (root) password. OBSERVED RESULT 1. New pop up window shown. Als root ausführen - KDE-SU" ("execute as root - KDE-SU"). Window says (German): "Bitte geben Sie unten Ihr Passwort ein." ("Please enter your password below.") "Der Zugriff wird verweigert. Möglicherweise wurde das falsche Passwort verwendet. Bitte versuchen Sie es erneut." ("Acces was denied. Maybe wrong password was used. Please try again.") Password can be re-entered, but OK still leads to same window. No success. NOK. Root password is rejected. 2. After pressing "Ignorieren" ("Ignore") instead of "OK" new pop up shown: (Title not translated by pop up): "Need administrative powers. Please run this software with administrative rights. To do so, run this program with kdesudo." EXPECTED RESULT 1. After entering root password it should be possible to change apt sources for Discover. 2. should not be necessary at all.
