updated to KDE 3.5.5 - had to edit kdmrc to get root to be able to login to the gui, no biggie, but when I am in my user account I will once in a while go to File Manager - Super User Mode - normally I just enter in my password when it asks and we are off and running, but now when I enter my password it says it is incorrect.
I can go to konsole and su to root with the password without a problem, I can login to KDE with password without a problem with root account. I also noticed in KControl Center if I try the administrator mode in the font settings it asks for password, which is normal, but than spits out incorrect password at me. How do I get KDE so the password works for this stuff? I enjoy using File Manager - Super User Mode for doing certain tasks. It use to work just fine.
EDIT - I just remerged KDEsu and it works now

Are you sure it's the file manager asking you for the root password and not kwallet (the password caching database) asking you for the master password of your previously saved ones?
Just a thought...

I go to System - More Applications - File Manager Super User Mode
right away up comes a box
The action you request needs root prvileges etc etc etc I enter in my password like I normally do and it says Incorrect password, please try again - I wonder if it's not something to do with the KDE su or something

If you've checked the "Keep password" box I think it will cache it using kwallet as I mentioned before, are you sure you haven't done that?wolfden wrote:I go to System - More Applications - File Manager Super User Mode
