ksudo & YaST

English Applications
1

All,

Normally I am logged in as a normal user. However this normal user is also sysadmin :wink: therefore I use YaST. Then KDE su prompts for the root password. I enter the right root password, hit OK … then KDEsu thinks … and thinks … and thinks. Then disappears and I am back where I started.

Anybody any idea what is going on or how to debug/trace?

Hmm, I have not heard of a problem with “kdesu”.

However, there is a known problem with “sudo” - it doesn’t work if “pam_kwallet” is installed.

If you have “pam_kwallet” then maybe try uninstalling it and see if that fixes your problem.
