    Question Root Password

    Whenever i enter in my root password anywhere else it works. Like getting into Software Management in Yast, or wherever. But when I'm trying to install an rpm dvd file with kPackage i get to the first screen I click install and then I click install on that second screen that pops up, and then I get that one where it asks Root Login Password:

    But I'm not able to type anything if I press Enter and go down one line, I can start typing or even if I dont type anything, it will get the "su: incorrect password" message after like 5 seconds.
    Whats going on here?

    Try launching it as root:
    Code:
    kdesu kpackage

    That seemed to work now when I click install I get some warning.

    <home/felthauser/Desktop/libdvdcss-1.2.6-1.i686.rpm';echo RESULT=$?
    warning: //home/felthauser/Desktop/libdvdcss-1.2.6-1.i686.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID e01260f1

    That's fine, you can ignore that. That just means there's no signature on the package.
