I tried some applications (synaptic included) that use gksu/gksudo and they are all showing an "enter your password to perform administrative tasks" prompt.
Is this the case for you as well?
What do you mean by "asking for the root password"? |

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. |

You might be right. Indeed in the sudo manual it states:
...sudo requires that users authenticate themselves with a password...
(NOTE: in the default configuration this is the user's password, not the root password)
I'm therefore reopening it and marking it as confirmed. |
