[xubuntu-users] 11.10 does not ask for password when updating with update manager

[Steffen Schwarz]

Yep, it's the same here! Being asked directly before something is installed would be nice!
Best,
Steffen

This affects me too.  Since I upgraded and the update manager is now an indicator app, it asks me for me password if I choose "Sow updates" then try to update, but not if I choose "Install updates" - it just installs them without needing the password.  Not sure why.


Any ideas, anyone?

Hi,



I upgraded to 11.10. I noticed when I update it does not ask me for my

password. All Ubuntu flavors have always asked me for my password. What

is going on?



Thanks
