Public bug reported:
x86_64, 12.04 LTS Server + xubuntu-desktop
While logged into my xubuntu session, I have been presented with a notification
that a crash report is available for viewing and submission. When I double
click the icon, I'm prompted for my password. I enter my password, but it
fails to authenticate me, and I'm presented with a dialog stating,
"""
Failed to run /usr/share/apport/apport-gtk as user root.
Wrong password.
"""
I have tried my password as well as the root password multiple times
(I'm sure it's not mistyped), and the result is the same. It doesn't
authenticate.
I'm able to authenticate to install updates using Update Manager or
install new packages with Synaptic Package Manager.
For now, my workaround is to just run "sudo /usr/share/apport/apport-
gtk" from a shell, but that's sub-optimal.
