[Bug 1173013] Re: Administrative Password Not Recognized

[Brian Murray]

Could you please give exact details on how you used gdebi?  The log file
/var/log/auth.log may be helpful in gathering more information about
this.  However, be aware that there may be sensitive information in it
like the IP address from which you ssh'ed into the machine.  Thanks in
advance.

Title:
  Administrative Password Not Recognized

Status in “gdebi” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When I try to install a deb file using gdebi (0.9~exp2), gdebi will
  not accept my password.  Install fails to run

  When I try to install the Virtualbox extensionpack, Virtualbox
  (4.2.12-84980~Ubuntu~raring) will not accept my password.  Install
  fails to run

  But I can use my password to install packages via Synaptic.  And the
  same password also works in terminal when using apt-get.

  I just installed Ubuntu 13.04
