Conversation with su failed

[aussie.ian]

While trying to open Adept I entered my password (the correct one) and received the error "Conversation with su failed", can anyone tell me why this would happen all of a sudden and how to fix it. I was using Adept half an hour ago with no problems.

Re: Conversation with su failed

It's possible that there is more than one Adept executable running.  Close Adept and go to:
K Menu --> System --> Konsole
Then type:

ps aux | grep -i adept

If you see something line:

user_name 7480  0.0  0.1   2876   796 pts/2    R+   14:24   0:00 grep -i adept

then Adept is not running.  However, if there is more output than this, type:

sudo killall adept

Let us know if that works.
