ffi Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 When I select Users and Groups I get the following message instead of a dialogue asking for my password: The configuration could not be loaded You are not allowed to access the system configuration. Synaptic still asks for my password, how do I fix this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Did you use/install that dreaded system screwer named Automatix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffi Posted December 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 yeah, I did. I also found the fix, I used the gnome menu tool too add gksu to the command, which must have somehow have disappeared, because it worked previously.

scarecrow Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 (K)Ubuntu is a very nice distro... it's a pity to destroy it by adding stuff by automatix. Use the "hard", safe way... it just makes much more sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artificial Intelligence Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 I agree with scarecrow. Especially when you do update and upgrade you can end in a big mess. I'm not fond of these Automatix and Easy Ubuntu scripts/applications even though it makes easier to get codecs and flash. I have seen terrible disaster what happen when it really go wrong. If you need help with some specific applications/codecs/etc. you need, just ask :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlc Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy Seems to be a better method than automatix/easy, just tells you things you might use/need and how to install and if there are any extra tidbits you might need to know.
