Installed WattOS R8 MATE on my ASUS i7 laptop. Everything went well. Seemed to be no issues with the installation. Then I downloaded Google Chrome and tried to use Gdebi to install it. It asked me for my password, but when I typed it in it told me my password was incorrect and would not proceed with the installation. ..My password was not incorrect, it's just that for whatever reason R8 has a problem remembering what the correct password is. Then I opened Gdebi using my password in Terminal, and everything worked fine. Got Google Chrome installed without further problems. ..But what's going on with R8 having trouble remembering passwords, and how do I go about fixing it?

One other issue came up as well. Made software changes and needed to edit my "Applications  Places  System" main desktop menu. However when I right clicked on it and selected "Edit Menus," instead of the main menu editor opening nothing happens. Nothing I do opens the main menu editor. Any help with this issue would also be appreciated!

Other than those two issues, so far WattOS R8 MATE is a pleasure to work with. Once I have answers to the failure to recognize my password and the inability to open and use the main menu editor I'll be 100% satisfied with what WattOS R8 MATE provides!..

Thanks for any help that may be forthcoming. Haven't run into these problems in other Debian based MATE distros, so really not sure what to look for in correcting them..
