Public bug reported: Bug in Gutsy Gibbon (kubuntu 7.10) not in Feisty.
Unable to log in admin mode using kcontrol or systemsettings. When I click onto admin mode, then the window for the password prompt (kcmshell) is shown. I enter the admin password, then the borders of the window become red and next the red borders dissapear and all I have got is returning to the normal user mode window of systemsettings or kcontrol. Using console: *********************************************** $ systemsettings adding Administrador de usuarios /usr/share/applications/kde/userconfig.desktop Pythonize constructor -- pid = 9256 Python interpreter initialized!
