Bug Description
Binary package hint: checkbox
When I start System Testing (/usr/bin/
If I may be presumptive, I think the problem lies with permissions. When I click "next", a taskbar item comes up displaying "Starting Administrative..." but then quickly closes. I think the system realises that as a Guest account I don't have authorisation to run this operation, but instead of quitting outright or showing up an Administrative password dialogue, it just hangs continuously, quitting part of the application but leaving the rest running.
