I am sorry, the problem has returned. The administrator button in KDE Control Centre (kcontrol) does not work. When pressed, there is a "Loading" message and it hangs up after that. Clicking any other function after that causes the program, to abort.
The workaround sudo kcontrol spews error messages like Error: "/var/tmp/kdecache-<username>" is owned by uid <user-uid> instead of uid 0. but allows administrator tasks like font installation to be done. Is there any reason why this problem recurs so unpredictably? I would be glad to see it fixed once and for all. Thanks. -- Administrator button fails to work in kde-settings and kcontrol https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175909 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
