Bug Description
When trying to open the AMD Catalyst Control Center in Administrative mode by using the launcher found in dash, you will be ask to enter password for it, but it always shows "su: authentication failure" and exit.
Steps:
1. Install 14.04 on a I+A system, boot to desktop
2. Try to open the Control Center in administrative mode by searching AMD in dash
3. Enter password
Expected result:
* AMD Catalyst Control Center opened
Actual result:
* The authentication windows closed with failure message
This bug will be a blocker to 14.04 certificate for all I+A (or even A+A) GPU switchable systems, since user won't be able to switch between GPUs without using the command line commands.
WORKAROUND:
run "sudo amdcccle" in the terminal, you will be able to switch between GPUs.
