I have tried using most of the options in the Control Panel, but have only found a couple that work (for me). Anything that requires the Admin Password does not start after I enter the password. I even tried using su in terminal mode, but it didn't help.

Those featurs that don't require su (like change the wallpaper) work fine.

What am I doing wrong?

Mike,

If entering your root password does not work, go to terminal as root and use sux instead of su, enter your root password and then start one of the programs that is not responding, I'm using mnetwork in the example, you should then be able to see the errors in the terminal window.

#sux
(rootpassword)
mnetwork


cheers,

Thanks for the help Hog.

got to root okay, ran mnetwork just to see if it worked, it did. How do I start control center from within Terminal? Or once I'm root should I go to control center (which I tried and it still didn't work).

if you go to /usr/local/bin/antixcc-en.sh and open it with Leafpad (right-click option), you'll see all the commands it uses so you can simulate in the terminal.
For example: to launch MNetwork it uses the command

Code: Select all

gksu mnetwork

, also to launch Synaptic it uses

Code: Select all

gksu synaptic

etc.

It seems it's a problem with the gksu command.

Have you installed kdm or gdm by any chance?
