I installed linux version of Livestation for watching TV. Unfortunately it is defective but SystemGuard wont allow me to kill it. I have deleted program but it remains on Panel as running program. What can I do to get rid of it?

Re: Insufficient permissions to kill process
in ksysguard it should be easy to check who the process belongs to.
if it belongs to your user, then it is not a permission issue.
i haven't checked what signal is sent to the process by the "kill process" button.
i would expect a signal 15 (SIG TERM).
sometimes processes are in such a status that a signal 9 (SIG KILL) is required.
try right-clicking on the process and select "send signal", then "kill (KILL)".
see what happens...
if the process belongs to root, then start ksysguard with admin privileges:
a) alt-f2
b) type: kdesudo ksysguard
c) ok
careful what you do with that, though.
killing the wrong process can crash your system.

Re: Insufficient permissions to kill process
For future reference, an alternative approach to killing a process (from terminal):
$ ps aux
$ sudo kill -9 <process id from the output of ps aux>
