Looks like a distribution problem. Though arguably there should be some visual error handling of failed authorization. |
Created attachment 186069 [details] window screenshot SUMMARY No dialog box is opened to ask for a password to obtain root permissions, and the window is gray and unclickable. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open kde partitionmanager OBSERVED RESULT KDE partition manager window opened without password dialog, and the buttons are all gray and cannot be clicked. EXPECTED RESULT When the window is opened, a dialog pops up asking me to enter a password to get root permissions, after typing the password the button becomes clickable.
