Public bug reported: After upgrading dapper -> edgy, I find that System->Administration->Networking now gives me an error 'The configuration could not be loaded. ou are not allowed to access the system configuration.'. I also get the same error message if I try to acess the configuration via the network monitor panel applet.
Running 'sudo network-admin' from a command line works as expected. The same issue also affects a numbeer of other controls, such as user- admin and time-and-date (both via the menu and the clock panel applet). ** Affects: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Assignee: Ubuntu Desktop Bugs Status: Rejected -- Control panels no longer launching as root under edgy https://launchpad.net/bugs/71102 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
