I get exactly the same log entry. The authentication dialogue box comes up, I type in my password, click okay, the adept window pops up and adept crashes (just after the status bar in adept_manager says "Building state information").
kdesu -c adept_manager gives output kbuildsycoca running... kapture::PkgSystem::PkgSystem() and in auth.log: Dec 24 23:16:20 localhost sudo: ramin : TTY=pts/8 ; PWD=/home/ramin ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/kdesu_stub - Dec 24 23:16:20 localhost sudo: ramin : TTY=pts/8 ; PWD=/home/ramin ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/kdesu_stub - Dec 24 23:16:22 localhost sudo: (pam_unix) authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=pts/7 ruser= rhost= user=ramin Dec 24 23:17:01 localhost CRON[27974]: (pam_unix) session opened for user root by (uid=0) Dec 24 23:17:01 localhost CRON[27974]: (pam_unix) session closed for user root -- adept_manager starts but auth error in auth.log https://launchpad.net/bugs/73641 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
