Using Dapper Drake 6.06 LTS on a Compaq nc4010 business laptop with a Pentium 4 processor, for what it's worth.
I have no idea what caused this:
Whenever I click system>administration>(task that requires password), Ubuntu tries to load the password dialogue box, but is unable to. The "Starting Administrative Application" window shows up in the Window List bar, as does the application I'm trying to run. Neither one, when clicked on, does anything. After about 15 seconds, both go away.
I'm extremely new to this system (48 hours new), so don't throw too much crazy code talk around without explaining it, please. |

It happened around the same time that I uninstalled a few audio programs.
Also at the same time, I became unable to install or uninstall anything. I can start the add/remove applications window, tell it to uninstall something, and it just sits there spinning its wheels forever. Probably because it's trying to ask for a password but can't.
