"A workaround is to run 'sudo rm /var/run/sudo/yourusername/*'." ...except that you can't do this, because the shell fails to replace the "*" with the correct filenames (it doesn't have read permissions to the directory). You would have to do a 'sudo ls' on the directory and remove each timestamp ticket separately, manually entering the correct filename.
The following works better: 'sudo su' 'rm /var/run/sudo/yourusername/*' 'exit' About other workarounds (from bug #72545): - Opening a couple new instances of Konsole occupying some new pts's should normally help. - Also, you can set the option "timestamp_timeout=0" in '/etc/sudoers', which will force 'sudo' to always ask for the password. -- kdesu will not start apps https://launchpad.net/bugs/50971 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
