Did you enable sudo during the install? *By default Squeeze KDE has a "hidden" konqueror as root menu entry....* did you try that? :-) Right-click over the KMenu thingie, select "Menu Editor" Settings => Configure KDE Menu Editor => Misc => Tick "Show hidden Entries" => OK. In the left-hand pane expand "System" and then expand "More Applications" - see the "File Manager Superuser mode" ?? Untick "Hidden entry" Click on "Save" and close the Menu Editor KMenu => System => More Applications => File Manager - Superuser Mode If that fails to produce a password prompt please post the output of:- $ ls -alL /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdesu Assumption: you're running Squeeze (from uname -r)??
