Well, this is the normal behaviour. Its the same if you try to run a CLI application by using sudo, the password asked is that of your root user.
Perhaps this wiki page will clarify it for you: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo On the base of this, I'm marking this bug as invalid (its not a bug but the normal behaviour). Please let us know if you disagree or you need any other clarifications. Thanks. ** Changed in: gksu (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- synaptic is asking root password and not user admin's https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/133639 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
