Re: [opensuse-factory] Getting errors "Root privileges are required" and "su returned with an error"

Hello,

This is after an upgrade to Factory from openSUSE 10.3.

This kind of update is not supported, and being factory under
development, you should expect breakage :-)

In addition,
the 'sux' command is no longer found. When trying to update, for
example, I never get prompted for the root password and updating fails
with "Root privileges are required" and "su returned with an error".

What changed and how can I get the old update behavior back? Perhaps
a 'sudo' issue?

OpenSUSE 11.0 will implement PolicyKit to manage users rights.
I guess your problem is due to some wrongly updated setting during the
update from 10.3 to 11.0.

With kind regards,
Alberto
