Hello:
This is in openSUSE 13.2 with its default KDE4 (4.14.3).
I want to configure the login manager (KDM). I start it from Configure Desktop -> System Administration -> Login Screen. It doesn't ask for root password. OK. I change a setting and try to save by clicking "Apply". Now it asks for root password. I fill it and the change is applied. I change another thing, "Apply" again. Is asks for root password again. And it goes on like this. Every time I click "Apply" it asks for the root password. This is very annoying. In KDE3 it was sufficient to enter root passord only once to enter administrator mode and after that you could make and apply as many changes as you wanted without entering the root password again in that session. What is the rationale behind this new "feature"? Is there any way to set back the KDE3 behavior?
Thanks,
Istvan
There is a check box that says Remember Password when it first asks root's password. But don't get your hopes up. It doesn't seem to work. Any time the apply button shows up with a KEY icon on it you are going to have to enter root's password again. Its been this way for quite a while. Very annoying. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
