KDE control center admin problem

doobie · #1 26th February 2006, 08:25 PM

Every time that I try to gain administrator mode in the KDE control center it gives me an error for the su command. When I click on the button to get admin mode it displays an error dialog window that says "Su returned with an error." The su command works perfectly in Gnome. Also, if I run the control center from the command line as root, it works (obviously doesn't need to ask for password again). Is there some sort of setting that needs to be changed? Please help...

hi,
does it work if you run the 'KDE control center' in KDE and not Gnome?

I am running into this problem in KDE...

Me too. I use KDE and I always got this error on some KDE window or applet that I open that requires root password like the KDEWifiManager and also with the Control panel like doobie . If I remember it right, I started having this problem after updating to test2 and up until now, with test3, still that error occurs.
