When installing Kubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) onto my lappy I ascribed a

System Settings --> Network Settings gets me into a broken
Administrator Mode thingy (the sudo password request just goes into an
endless manual loop). Googling indicates that the "Systems Settings"
has been borked since Ubuntu 5.04.
Try "sudo systemsettings" from a console. It works for me in Kubuntu Feisty.
Failing that try in the "run command" from the kmenu,
"kdesu -c systemsettings"
"sudo kcontrol" does not work because of permission problems arising
from temp subdirectories being owned by USER.
"kcontrol" in a "root shell" also does not work for different reasons
which I suspect may also be related to permissions.
Both of these may work better with "kdesu -c ..."
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I hope those directions help :-)
Replacing KDE with GNOME is
not an option. :-)
I totally agree. :-D
Cheers.
