Hi,
when I want to shutdown my computer by using KDE (Logout -> Shutdown Computer),
KDE want's me to enter the root password. When I enter my password (as I always
do when e.g. using "sudo"), it isn't accepted. I guess, KDE want's the password
of user "root", which I do not know, of course.

When using the console and typing "sudo init 0", it works perfectly.



I searched the bug list and couldn't find this bug already submitted - sorry if
it's already existing!



Thanks for fixing it ;)
