gksu in Kubuntu 12.04 Will not let me type my password

[Terrence Bruff]

When running gksu in Kubuntu 12.04. It spits out that I am not using the correct password. I cannot figure out why it is doing this. I have tried under multiplue applications. I I have tried switching the mode from su to sudo with no dice. I am running 32 bit on an acer aspire 5517.

Here is the package information gksu:
  Installed: 2.0.2-6ubuntu1
  Candidate: 2.0.2-6ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 2.0.2-6ubuntu1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Could this be an issue in user accounts?
