Same problem here in 13.04.
Apparently gksu uses 'su' by default, which won't work in Ubuntu (since
root user is disabled and cannot be switched to). The solution is really
simple: run gksu-properties and set “Authentication mode” to “sudo” –

Unless you want to open nautilus instead of using the terminal.

Did you try to investigate around su and sudo? Because gksu calls them
regarding the option you passed (or not). In my case, the source of the
problem is sudo.
By the way, I did manually set a root password in command line with
sudo passwd. Then I can connect as root in command line using su
Well, sudo works fine for me. It's really only gsku that doesn't work.
Thats what confuses me.
Luckily there aren't may Apps that use gksu anymore.

This seems not to be the same issue I have. Neither gsku -w synaptic,
nor gsku -w -u root synaptic work for me :/

I tried purging and reinstalling gksu again, but it didn't help :/

Same bug with Linux Mint 13 and with Debian 6.0.5 (Xfce) that gives:
«
johan@johan-backup:~$ gksu -d -u administrateur thunar
No ask_pass set, using default!
xauth: /tmp/libgksu-8s2a0j/.Xauthority
STARTUP_ID: gksu/gdmsetup/3144-0-johan-backup_TIME0
cmd[0]: /usr/bin/sudo
cmd[1]: -H
cmd[2]: -S
During the next week, I will try Linux Mint 13 (based on Ubuntu 12.04)
to see if I can find the same bug. If this bug is present, I will try
last the Debian distro Ubuntu is based on.

Hi everyone,
Is this bug solved? I've juste upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04 and neither
gksu nor gksudo work with the option --user: both always answer that
selected user password is wrong though this user belongs to sudo group.
An example:
Session opened with user johan that doesn't belong to sudo
No this is not solved and is driving me insane. I cannot use any
application that relies on GSKU and nobody seems to care about this imo
major bug.

Since the layout changes of gksu in precise it doesn't work for me
anymore. That means it just always tells me the password i entered was
wrong.
Sudo works fine with the same password, also does login.
