Bug Description

Fresh install of ubuntu 18.04, enable sources and proposed, then install partitionmanager.

When launching it from gnome "Activities", displays this error:

No administrative privileges - KDE Partition Manager
It is possible to run KDE Partition Manager without these privileges. You will, however, not be allowed to apply operations.
Do you want to continue running KDE Partition Manager?
Note: if administrator login is disabled and your password is not accepted, then check kdesu configuration.

Have you checked kdesu configuration as Partition Manager told you to?

P.S. next version of KDE Partition Manager will not use kdesu anymore, so this will be resolved.

Launching partition mananger from gnome asks for root password so I guess it's solved...
