Re: password problem in kde

[seeds]

do su in konsole to get to root status and then type in the kde line
which asked for password in the console. it will bring you to the
screen where u can change the time.

May be I was not so clear. I was not doing login as root. I am working only as user. Only to correct time I was trying. Then I was asked root password. Now I know from other posts, there is a bug inkdesu.
  You can login as aregular user and use su or sudo.  By the way, what do you mean you triedto delete encryption in /etc/shadow?  If you edited that file by hand,
you might not be able to login or su as root at all (like Ubuntu!)
 
I deleted encripted password in shadow and did passwd command.

For security reasons, the display managers xdm, kdm and gdm are 
configured by default to prohibit login as root.  You can login as a 
regular user and use su or sudo.  By the way, what do you mean you tried 
to delete encryption in /etc/shadow?  If you edited that file by hand, 
you might not be able to login or su as root at all (like Ubuntu!)

Etch?

I can use my password everywhere tried, except synaptic at the moment. Since 
the third last upgrade I think? Will probably get fixed soon?

password problem in kde

[L . V . Gandhi]

As root I can login in konsole. But with same password, I couldn't login in kde dialog for changing time. First I had en_IN as locale. I changed the locale to en_US to rectify problem with audacity menus appearance. I tried to delete encription in /etc/shadow and redone passwd command. Still I have problem in KDE. Any solution?
