Hi Karel, it was my root pw, I tried at the same time more then once dnf su successful and the pw was always ok. It was no "mistyping" of the pw, there was somethimg wrong in the sytem. But meanwhile, because my Gnome SW problems in F23 ( bug 1271520 ) , which had appeared on the same day as the problems in F22, are solved, I tried again to install apps in F22 with Gnome SW. Now the first time in the session the root pw was requested and now it was accepted, for the following installations of apps in the same session the pw was not requested any more.

I remember once I've met some dialogue that confused me to enter the root password while in fact it needed the user password as all it did was wrap around sudo, which by default uses the user, not admin, password ... and if this is the case, please report a RFE for improving the wording of the password dialogue (my case was fixed promptly :-)) K. -- Karel Volný QE BaseOs/Daemons Team Red Hat Czech, Brno tel. +420 532294274 (RH: +420 532294111 ext. 8262074) xmpp kavol@xxxxxxxxx :: "Never attribute to malice what can :: easily be explained by stupidity." -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
