[Bug 1173013] Re: Administrative Password Not Recognized

[Brian Murray]

Running /usr/bin/gsku-properties in a terminal one is presented with a
gui dialog where they can choose different authentication modes.  There
are two choices, sudo or su.  It'd be helpful to know which choice is
selected for people having an issue.  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
