None of the solutions offered above did work. Things are as before: I cannot do anything from the System Settings that need a certain authenticiation. E.g. I can change my printer settings, but not install new software. Even trying to change the time gives "Unable to authenticate/execute the action: 4, "
Thank god, I can do most things as root or sudo from the commandline, but some other things I need to do from System Settings, and that does not work. As I am not the only one, I wonder what the Kunbutu guys are doing with these reports.
