Hi,

I have been using TDE (now 5.13.1) with Kubuntu Oneiric for a year or so. I regularly update with adept_updater. It worked fine until my last update. But now when prompted by adept_updater for my admin privilege password, after 3 tries, I get a KdeSudo Error window saying Wrong Password. But I have not recently changed, removed or added any password. It consists of alphanumeric characters only. This same problem applies when I try to open other kde applications that require administrative powers. I urgently need your help to get my password back.

I do not have this problem when I log into TDE at the beginning of a session or kmail, or when I open a superuser console from the regular console.

Here is some info I can give you :

$ ls -l kdesudo -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 55972 2011-10-26 17:24 kdesudo $ ls -l adept_updater -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1246592 2011-10-14 17:36 adept_updater $ dpkg -l | grep kdesudo ii  kdesudo    3.4.2.3-2ubuntu3           sudo frontend for KDE ii  kdesudo-trinity      4:3.5.13-0ubuntu9+r1260892+pr3~oneiric       sudo frontend for Trinity

Thanks in advance for responding. I really appreciate TDE and all the work behind it.

Hi,

do you have the latest version of kdelibs (ax8) and kdebase (ax16)? What is kdesudo 3.4.2.3-2ubuntu3? This is a very old version? It says something to your .xsession-errors?

Slavek

Hi,

Yes, I have version ax8 of kdelibs and v. ax16 of kdebase.

kdesudo 3.4.2.3-2ubuntu3, found in /usr/bin/ is dated 2011-01-29. Should I delete it?

In .xsession-errors, I'M not too sure what to look for, but here is a sampling of what may be of interest (some parts are in French) :

Yes, try to uninstall old kdesudo 3.4.2.3-2ubuntu3. Crashing kdesu mentioned in .xsession-error could be just that.

Slávek

Thanks, Slávek, I'll try that. Do I just delete it or do I need to remove the package?

Remove (or purge) package.

Slávek

Hi again Slávek,

I tried doing that, but the message I get claims 3 programs depend on kdesudo, so removal of the package is ignored:

+++++++++++++ marco@Blacknight:/usr/bin$ sudo dpkg -r kdesudo [sudo] password for marco: dpkg : un problème de dépendance empêche la suppression de kdesudo : update-manager-kde dépend de kdesudo. libmuonprivate1 dépend de kdesudo. apturl-kde dépend de kdesudo. dpkg : erreur de traitement de kdesudo (--remove) : problème de dépendance - suppression ignorée Des erreurs ont été rencontrées pendant l'exécution : kdesudo marco@Blacknight:/usr/bin$ +++++++++++++++++

Are those 3 dependencies important? Should I force the removal? If that's what I should do, what would be the proper command?

This is a package from KDE 4. If there would be a conflict with Trinity because of it, that would be a Trinity bug. I suspect the problem is somewhere else however.

Best regards, Julius

Ha, I not thought that KDE4 applications could have a version number 3.x. Yes, it seems to me that the problem is probably elsewhere.

How do you set /etc/sudoers (or /etc/sudoers.d/)? On the test machine I have my account in the group "sudo", and there to me it works.

Hi,

I would just like to point out that the problem is only with kdesudo, and not with sudo. It is as if kdesudo does not know where to look to check my password. As you have certainly noticed, my knowledge of informatics is minimal. I get along as long as things are straightforward and simple. Oneiric TDE is my main system for all my private files and professional work, so I need it to work... I did not manage to remove the (non-trinity) kdesudo package because of dependencies, but i renamed it old_kdesu.

...

I did not set anything in those files. I am the only user (marco) on my linux machine.

The etc/sudoers.d directory contains only the standard README file.

Here are the contents of the /etc/sudoers file :

++++++++++++++++++++++++++ marco@Blacknight:/etc$ sudo cat sudoers [sudo] password for marco: # # This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root. # # Please consider adding local content in /etc/sudoers.d/ instead of # directly modifying this file. # # See the man page for details on how to write a sudoers file. # Defaults env_reset

# Host alias specification

# User alias specification

# Cmnd alias specification

# User privilege specification root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

# Members of the admin group may gain root privileges %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL

# Allow members of group sudo to execute any command %sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

#includedir /etc/sudoers.d +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

If i need to do something to this file, please be specific.

Thanks again

Marco

I used the 'usermod' command to add sudo to the groups that belong to user marco. I checked with the command 'id' : it shows user marco as part of the admin and sudo groups.

But when asked for my password by a kde application in a Kdesudo window, I still get bumped after 3 tries with the message 'Wrong password. Exiting'. Any clues?

The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is that perhaps tdesu, not tdesudo, is executing. There was a problem with an incorrect message string in tdesu where it was prompting for the user's password but actually expected the root password; this has been fixed in GIT but has not been repaired in 3.5.13 AFAIK.

Tim

well, I looked in KSysguard, and I found mention of kdesu, not kdesudo.

So would it be a good idea for me to set up a root password and try that in the meantime?

The problem revealed - due to changes in kdelibs and kdebase (added keep password option to tdesu) was necessary to rebuild package kdesudo.

Package updated and included into my ppa. Please test it.

Problem solved !! I tested your new package and it works fine. Thanks for the repair, Slávek.

Marco :)

Thanks for the good news. Also thanks for reporting the problem - has helped to fix it.
