Bug ID: 483701
Summary: unable to launch Software Sources - root password
never accepted
Classification: Applications
Product: Discover
Version: 6.0.2
Platform: Neon
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: discover
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: s_chriscoll...@hotmail.com
CC: aleix...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Clicking the "Software Sources" button in Discover's "Settings" page prompts
for the root password, but the root password (sudo) is never accepted.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
These steps are for KDE neon and might vary for other distributions.
1. Make sure "software-properties-qt" is installed.
2. Start Discover.
3. Wait for update check to finish.
4. Navigate to the "Settings" page.
5. Click the "Software Sources" button on the right side of the page.
OBSERVED RESULT
A window pops up prompting for the root password. It has the window title "Run
as root — KDE su" and says "The action you requested needs root privileges.
Please enter root's password below or click Ignore to continue with your
current privileges. Command: /usr/bin/software-properties-qt". After entering
the user's password (since Ubuntu uses sudo), another box pops up with:
"Permission denied. Possibly incorrect password, please try again. On some
systems, you need to be in a special group (often: wheel) to use this program."
The password continues to be prompted, but is never accepted.
EXPECTED RESULT
Sudo password should be accepted and software properties launched.
