Hi, i used the word admin wrongly, in my private system the only admin is root and I used the root pw. But anyway, when today Gnome SW asked for the root pw, it was accepted, and Gnome SW installed apps. Why? I don't know, possibly an dnf update. I also have had problems in installing apps in F23 (Gnome SW had the F22 apps chosen), but today I also could install the F23 apps, Gnome SW choose the F23 versions (dnf update).

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. -- 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
