[Bug 62706] Re: Administration tasks requiring password hangup without asking for password
typing in /etc/hosts resulted in an error due to insufficient permission, even when logged in as root. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ /etc/hosts bash: /etc/hosts: Permission denied changing my hostname to the same as my username seems to have made a difference in the initial problem, though. Now I am being asked for my administrative password again. I'll see if it stays on reboot.

** Description changed: Using Dapper Drake 6.06 LTS on a Compaq nc4010 business laptop with a Pentium 4 processor, for what it's worth. - - I have no idea what caused this: Whenever I click system>administration>(task that requires password), Ubuntu tries to load the password dialogue box, but is unable to. The "Starting Administrative Application" window shows up in the Window List bar, as does the application I'm trying to run. Neither one, when clicked on, does anything. After about 15 seconds, both go away. + It happened around the same time that I uninstalled a few audio + programs. + + Also at the same time, I became unable to install or uninstall anything. + I can start the add/remove applications window, tell it to uninstall + something, and it just sits there spinning its wheels forever. Probably + because it's trying to ask for a password but can't. + I'm extremely new to this system (48 hours new), so don't throw too much crazy code talk around without explaining it, please. -- Administration tasks requiring password hangup without asking for password https://launchpad.net/bugs/62706 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
