"/etc/sudoers" does contain "user ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" as the last line, and running "/usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/su - -c /usr/local/kde/bin/k3b" as root does nothing. It just returns another prompt. Really, weird, huh? Though, looking at the app manager in Hildon, I'm seeing that install-tools is somehow corrupt. It's got that little right exclamation point over the icon. Not sure why as this is all (of course) running all on the SD card. Not even sure if this would affect the K3B issue. Though, any other app I run from the KDE menu starts up just fine. Will have to try tonight with ripping to MP3. Though, I won't be able to tell if all the appropriate lame packages are installed until I get a CD inserted. Will let you know what I find.
