Hey everyone, I'm having an issue here. kdesudo is a frontend for sudo, that apps like firefox etc... will run to do administrative commands (like updating etc)
Okay... I can 'su root', enter password, and now I am root. So i obviously know the correct password.
However, when kdesudo pops up to do anything, in this case an update to firefox, i enter the password and i get - "Incorrect password, try again"
what the heck! I can't do anything that requires administrative privileges in KDE? I get prompted, then it says the password is wrong. I only have 2 users, root and myself. soooo... i have no idea what password it's wanting to receive.
Please guys, any help would be really appreciated. This is a pretty annoying one...
Thanks!
