enzo: there are some workarounds to do GUI management in KDE4.0x:
*if you have kde3 installed on the same machine you can easily use the KDE3 versions of "kcontrol" or "systemsettings" to gain root privileges. *if you want to manage printers on a box with CUPS installed, point your browser at localhost:631 or subsitute localhost for an IP address. lydia: I haven't seen the solution in KDE4.1 so the method may already be different, but it would be nice if the visualisation of being root in systemsettings could be less ugly and more subtle than the red box border in KDE3 thanks! -- [KDE 4] Cannot get admin privileges in KDE4.0 System settings (Date/Time, Login Manager) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/184491 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
