Same trouble here on a kubuntu gutsy gibbon, the "Administrator Mode"
seems broken.
I ran systemsettings from konsole, and click on "Disks and Filesystems",
konsole says:
8<-----------8<---------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<
$ systemsettings
adding Disk & Filesystems /usr/share/applications/kde/mountconfig.desktop
Pythonize constructor -- pid = 7311
Python interpreter initialized!
Pythonize constructor -- pid = 7311
8<-----------8<---------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<
When I click the "Administrator Mode" button, the following line is added to
konsole:
8<-----------8<---------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<
passprompt
8<-----------8<---------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<
Sometimes (sorry I cannot say in which circumstances) a window titled "Kdesudo"
appears saying:
"/usr/bin/kcmshell System/mountconfig --embed-proxy
48237627 --lang fr needs administrative privileges. Please
enter your password for verification"
So I type my password
And in the konsole window, one can read:
8<-----------8<---------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib:
Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
kcmshell: cannot connect to X server :0
8<-----------8<---------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<
Hope this will help to solve this annoying bug.
The workaround is to launch systemsettings from the konsole with the
command 'sudo systemsettings'
