[Bug 175909] Re: Administrator button fails to work in kde-settings and kcontrol

[R (Chandra) Chandrasekhar]

I am sorry, the problem has returned.

The administrator button in KDE Control Centre (kcontrol) does not work.
When pressed, there is a "Loading" message and it hangs up after that.
Clicking any other function after that causes the program, to abort.

The workaround

sudo kcontrol

spews error messages like

Error: "/var/tmp/kdecache-<username>" is owned by uid <user-uid> instead
of uid 0.

but allows administrator tasks like font installation to be done.

Is there any reason why this problem recurs so unpredictably?

I would be glad to see it fixed once and for all.

Thanks.
