administrator mode

[veeyen]

I recently installed kubuntu 8.04 hardy heron and I can't get into administrator mode, I don't have an option to do that. And under Network Settings, the only things I can change are Connection Preferences, Proxy, and Service Discovery. There's no option to configure Interface.kindly help me to solve this problem. I cant change the time also since no administrator mode

Re: administrator mode

So...

If you go to Network Settings how does the Administrator Mode button (very bottom, right) appear?

If you connect to the internet, open Konsole Terminal Program and input:

sudo apt-get update

then

sudo apt-get upgrade

what happens?

You must be using Hardy w/ KDE 4. The lack of access to the admin mode is one of the problems with KDE 4. I believe you can get around it by running "kdesudo systemsettings" from the terminial.

Re: administrator mode

kdesudo systemsettings

This just returns a "command not found!" error.

Re: administrator mode

Try

kdesu

not

kdesudo

You can install kdesudo this way.

sudo apt-get install kdesudo

Re: administrator mode

kdesudo is already installed, I think it's a problem with the "systemsettings" part.

"systemsettings" is a Kubuntu-specific system configuration tool. KDE 4 for Kubuntu may not have that tool. In that case, you can run "kdesudo kcontrol".

Thank you daihard. Now I am able to get the internet and able to change the system clock

Re: administrator mode

Conversely you can use:

kdesudo /usr/lib/kde4/bin/systemsettings
