"su -" also fails.
for some unknown reasons any attempt to use "su" does not work, so it is a problem with su and not kdesu.
So, the issue is not due to kdesu. Could you please run 'sudo bash'?
"sudo bash" works. also "sudo su -" but i think this is because my user is in group "wheel". and the relevant part of "/etc/sudoers" looks like this: ## ## User privilege specification ## root ALL=(ALL) ALL ## Uncomment to allow members of group wheel to execute any command # %wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL ## Same thing without a password %wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL thank god i put my user in group "wheel", because i think this is the only way currently to run a program as root.... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
