Public bug reported:

When I try to use the menu launcher for "AMD Catalyst Control Center
(Administravtive Mode)", the amdxdg-su program starts and brings up a
small text window with a prompt for the superuser (root) password.

Upon entering my regular user password (as is the default with Ubuntu)
an error message briefly appears in the small text window with
something to the effect of:

"su: authentication failure"

Then the small window closes and the Catalyst control center never
appears.

Previous versions of the control center worked correctly when providing
the regular user's password for administrative permissions.


However, if I run "$sudo amdcccle" in a console terminal, the Catalyst control center runs with elevated permissions.
