Ah, sorry. Well, after I just installed it, as you can see in the video 
, if I want to do administrative maintenance on my computer, I'll will 
have to type my password dozens of times . When I install ubuntu and I 
want to do the same thing, just one time is enough (the system keeps the 
password for a certain amount of time. To get rid of that irritation 
Kubuntu should just propose by default an option that keeps the password 
for an amount of time.
