Bug#516354: kcontrol: root password fails when adding printer
Package: kcontrol
Version: 4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-6
Severity: minor
When trying to add a new printer in kcontrol as normal user i have to
authenticate myself at the end
of the process. I type "root" and then his pw.
If i click ok, it just repeats the dialog (user name + pw). I retype root and pw, and then it
says:"Authentication failed (user name=root) Do you want to try again?". I
am offered "repeat" and "abort". Clicking repeat brings me back to
authentication dialog again. I have to retype it and then after some tries
it works. But saying in between again authentication fails, so that i have to click "repeat" and then
suddenly the root-pw is accepted.
