cannot access to any of gnome systems utils except synaptic and the welcome screen ap
 

Hello.

After upgrading from etch to lenny, I can not access any of
items from system-> administration.
gives the following error:
"you are not allowed to access the system configuration"

version of debian Lenny

attempted solutions:

1 .- I AM ROOT: |

2 .- apt-get install - reinstall - fix-missing-utils gnome-system

3 .- apt-get install - reinstall - fix-missing dbus

4 .-.- apt-get build-dep - reinstall dbus

5 .- slightly modify the / etc / group and optionally: / etc /
passwd

I leave my / etc / group to see how it turned

the user which i use with GDM and default is: christian8
There is also another error that whatever ALSA DEPENDS ON WORK
ONLY WITH THE ROOT USER!

postdata: i tried so hard looking for a solution in google but unfortunely could not found

i'm using the kernel

2.6.18-6-686


i'also put my sudoers file /etc/sudoers:

# /etc/sudoers
#
# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.
#
# See the man page for details on how to write a sudoers file.
#
# Defaults env_reset
# Host alias specification
# User alias specification
# Cmnd alias specification
# User privilege specification
root ALL=(ALL) ALL

really really thanks in advance

you still got gksu installed?

if so, id try running the upgrade again and/or adding another user and check if the problem exists there too.

on a site note: is there any reason you use the 2.6.18-kernel? default is 2.6.26-2-686

thanks to j1alu for reply my question!, ok i had the 26 kernel but i decided to change my sources.list to the official one post in debian.org and then the result was it upgrade to a previous version. I tried to reinstall gksu and got the same problem
the problem persists even if i'm running GDM as ROOT USER!, anyway the trouble related to alsa would fix if i'm really root i mean logging GDM with root and so on.

i put my sudoers file cuz in the previous version (etch), i changed the default one.

another, there is a daemon that is installed with the upgrade command, the daemon beggings with AVAHI, it gave me an error, so i deleted it in the rc2.d folder.
