I wouldn't be surprised if it has sth to do with sudo. When installing Debian using the debian-installer, you have the option to create a root account. If you do that, sudo won't be installed/setup. When you don't I guess it does setup sudo (I always create root account, so I'm not sure). And afaik it disables the root account. If I try to do sth that requires superuser/root rights, I get presented a dialog which allows me to specify the root password and then the requested action gets performed. Since you seem to be using sudo, I guess you need to modify the sudoers file (again, not sure since I have never used sudo). I don't know how to fix your issue, but maybe this helps diagnose the issue. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
