Re: 12.10, root password required for GUI admin tasks

After entering the administrator password or just hitting 'Enter', System Testing does run, but keeps re-presenting the password request. It states that 'Some tests require root access to run properly', and indeed certain tests are not completed due to incorrect permission. Running the same GUI tool via 'gksudo checkbox-qt', the administrator password is accepted and all tests complete normally.

hi
why you ain't give "root" a password.
open a terminal: run -> sudo /bin/bash
run: passwd root -> and give root a password.
