Hi all
I am helping a friend remotely, to add a printer to his new ubuntu
system. He logs in as a "real user" then presses the Administration
printing and Add New printer gets asked for Authorization and gives any
of his two passwords (user or root) and gets a not authorised to run
this program message.
He tries to log in as root but is not allowed on the desktop. (you can
su - in a terminal ok though).
I got him to find the command from the desktop to run the add printer
dialogue as root but it won't run (exits straight away).
any ideas?
I thought this would just work but I feel he has done something to mess
up the user groups as there is no Dialogue to administer users either?
