With kpackage, I get the same behaviour wether I start kpackage (from the TDE/kicker menu) or by right-clicking on the *.deb file and choosing "open with": kpackage opens, I choose install, kpackage asks for the password (snapshot 1). Maybe a clue? It asks for the SUDO password - I have no sudo password. Neither the root nor the user password work. The dialog box disappears, then comes back, and so on. If I modify the menu command in "tdesu kpackage", kpackage works (albeit I get a "tdeinit could not start tdesu" message...). I tried starting kpackage from the command line but all I get is: thierry@haswell:~$ kpackage TQSettings::sync: failed to open '/etc/tqt3/tqt_plugins_3.5rc.tmp' for writing TQLayout "unnamed" added to TQVBox "page", which already has a layout thierry@haswell:~$ ^C thierry@haswell:~$ No idea if this tells you something... Gostcrypt shows a similar behaviour, but with no message at all. I can select the crypted partition, but when I want to mount it this requires the root password, which is not taken, so of course gostcrypt does not get the superuser rights (snapshot 2). tdesu gostcrypt works perfectly, so this is not really a problem. I also need tdesu to start synaptic, but this is more to get a nice dialog box (otherwise some text window is used to ask for the root password. Thank you, Thierry
