Howzit guys,

I'm using Ubuntu 9.04. Everything is working, but one, very annoying problem. Everything I do, needs a password. Even when i print, I have to go into print queue, type in user name and password and then it will print.

Even clicking the remember password doesn't help. :(.

Is there a way to tell the system, okay use this possword for everything?
 
sounds more like a permission problem to me
log in as root, and change the permissions of the user to allow access to the devices.

its what i'd do
dunno how in GNOME but i use KUser in KDE
 
Okay, got the right password. I get this message:

"Administrator is not allowed to login, from this screen" :confused:
 
to make a root terminal
open a normal terminal and type in su
hit enter
enter root password

there is your root terminal

i wouldn't know how to change the permissions from there sorry but i think the device allocator should be found in /dev/

but if you wanna go around the long way and install KDE like i did
again do the thing with 'su'
then do
'apt-get install kde'
install the package
you will need to restart, and on the login screen go to session and select kde before you login
then log in as your normal user, kde will load, find terminal, again 'su' then just put 'kuser' in the root terminal

sorry i wasn't of much assistance, i still need to practice about with gnome
