Title:
  Update-manager should not require authentication password in Precise

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Installed using full-disk partitioning using Precise Pangolin Xubuntu
  alternate-amd64.iso image. After installation, I choose Menu -> system
  -> Update-manager, clicked check, found 46 updates to be installed.
  Clicking on install results in an authentication request for admin
  password. clicking the update-manager icon in the notification area
  and clicking on "Install Updates" does not require the password be
  entered. This inconsistency is confusing for all users.
