Version: 0.2 (using KDE 3.4.3, Kubuntu Package 4:3.4.3-0ubuntu1 ) Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.14-686 when I enter in administrator mode for each entry in System Settings, such as "login manager" or "font installer", i come back as normal user. I enter the right password, but it seems not have effect.
Yes, can confirm this, when in system setting for network, administrator mode does not work ( or open) a window to enter your root password.
After daylight savings time I went to change the time back and discovered indeed I can't access administrator mode in system settings or thru the clock. I enter the password it accepts it and I go back to user mode.
Same problem with KDE 4.0.0 on Gentoo Linux with x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc-4.1.1. The "Administrator mode" button is not present in important settings like "Login Manager".
"After daylight savings time I went to change the time back and discovered indeed I can't access administrator mode in system settings to enable the driver for the video card. I enter the password it accepts it and I go back to user mode."
I can confirm this, bug after fresh install of Kubuntu 7.10 i368. After clicking administrator mode button i only see a red frame appearing, then the windows is busy and goes back to as it was before.
Fresh install Kubuntu 7.10 (x86_64). Under system settings, when administrator mode button is clicked will intermittently be asked for password. Administrator mode not accessed with or without password. Get a brief red frame and then normal mode.
Have same problem with kubuntu 7.10 i cannot change login commands but my password is initially accepted
