Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: system-config-printer
When I make changes to a printer through system-config-printer as an
admin user, I am asked for my password when I try to apply the changes.
When I enter my password, I'm quickly prompted again as if the password
was incorrect, and have to eventually hit cancel.
I suspect the problem is because I have a very secure password which is
16 characters and includes symbols, I believe that the problem is
probably with one or more of the symbols. My password includes some of
the following (don't know which are causing the problem):
[EMAIL PROTECTED]&*(),.'";:
It also contains numbers and upper and lower case letters.
One fix would simply be to call system-config-printer via gksu which
neatly bypasses this problem (although of course requiring root password
to even view).
