Bug #15001, first reported on 2005-04-05 by Aric Wilisch Administrator mode not working and solved that year. It has re-surfaced and has also been reported again by Rohan Dhruva on 30 Nov 07. I can confirm what he has siad at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase/+bug/15001 but am reporting it as new because the older bug is closed. It happened out of teh blue on a fresk Kubuntu Gutsy installation. Action taken included completely re-installing Kubuntu and also sudo apt-get install --reinstall kcontrol kde-systemsettings neither of which has helped. Running either systemsettings or kcontrol from the konsole and clicking "Administrator Mode" for "Network Setings" does nothing but the console error messages are: *********************************** --------------------------------- It looks like dcopserver is already running. If you are sure that it is not already running, remove /root/.DCOPserver_kaveri__0 and start dcopserver again. --------------------------------- WARNING: Waiting for already running klauncher to exit. WARNING: Waiting for already running klauncher to exit. WARNING: Another instance of klauncher is already running! kdeinit: Communication error with launcher.

Removing /var/tmp/kdecache-<username> and kdecache-root does not help Thank you. ** Affects: kde-systemsettings (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- 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 Kubuntu Team, which is a bug contact for kde-systemsettings in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
