Hi,
I know it's out of topic, but I have had today urgent Gnome problems with F23 Final TC9 Gnome SW and now really unexpected situation with Gnome SW F22.
Installed F22, last build, to a 32GB usb flash medium. dnf su admin pw, ok. dnf update ok. Tried to install apps via the Gnome SW. Admin password requested, correct admin pw always rejected. Any idea? Coincident behaviour with the previous problems of F23 TC9 Gnome SW? Gnome SW F23 TC9 rejected installation of Gimp, Xsane etc.
Kind Regards

You need to be clear about whether it's asking for the root password or the admin password. If you are using "su", then it will ask for the root password. If you are using Gnome SW application and your user is an administrator, then it will be asking for an admin password which is your user password. If your user is not an administrator, but there is another administrator account, it will ask for that password. It should indicate which user it's asking for.
