I am using a debian live gnome OS installed on my hdd.

I am not able to use any programs that require superuser rights.

Eg - When I click on Synaptic, it asks me the root password and on giving
the password, it shows me an error

"Failed to run disk-manager as user root.

The underlying authorization mechanism (sudo) does not allow you to run this
program. Contact the system administrator."

Any idea how it can be resolved?
