Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    Debian stable Packages
Compiler:          Kubuntu 5.04 
OS:                Linux

I have experienced this problem numerous times using Kubuntu 5.04 Linux after numerous reinstalls.  I have not updated, downloaded, or installed anything new.  I use to be able to...

1) Right-click once on the clock on the kicker panel.
2) Left-click once on "Adjust Date & Time".
3) Enter my root password.
4) Click OK.
5) Adjust Date & Time.

Now I can never adjust the date & time after I enter my root password.

I have tried removing the clock from kicker and then adding it again but I still cannot change the date & time.

Once I installed "kworldclock" and I was then able to adjust the date & time, but it later stopped working again only to start working again once I removed "kworldclock".

Also, I keep getting a DCOP Communications Error after I try adjusting the clock...

"There was an error setting up inter-process communications for KDE.  The message returned by the system was:

Authentication Rejected, reason: None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed

Please check that the "dcopserver" program is running!"

I am not sure what that means but it may be related.  If I go to Kynaptic and search for "dcopserver" nothing is found that is called that.

Kubuntu 5.04 comes with KDE 3.4.0.  I upgraded to KDE 3.4.2 hoping that would fix the problem but it did not.

Thanks,
