Version: (using KDE KDE 3.97.0) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux I don't know if the responsible for this bug is KDE itself or Ubuntu, but since it happens only in KDE I feel I should report it. The bug occurs when one launches Synaptic Package Manager from KDE. A dialog box appears requesting the su password, but the (correct) password is not accepted.
if it is a kde problem, then a kdesu one.
This is a duplicate of bug #154355 . If you can provide the info requested there (in comment #8), that would be very welcome. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 154355 ***
