[Bug 1173013] Re: libgksu authentication mode set to su

[Brian Murray]

This doesn't absolutely need to be fixed in Quantal as libgksu was
installed by default and subsequently the gconf defaults were updated as
other packages were installed.

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

  Workaround:

  Run gksu-properties and change the authentication mode to sudo.
