A dialog box appears. It just shows the Full Name field, and the name shown is "Jason Stover" (login: jason) for the LDAP account. The Local Admin account name is "Jason Local" (login: jlocal).
The passwords between the two accounts is also different incase it was showing the name of the logged in user, but asking for the password of the local account, the passwords wouldn't have matched up. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1850977 Title: gnome-software installs software without user having sudo access Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS Release: 18.04 $ apt-cache policy gnome-software gnome-software: Installed: 3.28.1-0ubuntu4.18.04.8 Candidate: 3.28.1-0ubuntu4.18.04.12 Version table: 3.28.1-0ubuntu4.18.04.12 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates/main amd64 Packages *** 3.28.1-0ubuntu4.18.04.8 100 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3.28.1-0ubuntu4 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/main amd64 What I expect to happen: Software is not installed for a user without sudo access. What does happen: I'm logging in with an LDAP user. This user does not have sudo access. When I select software from gnome-software ("Ubuntu Software"), it pops up and asks for my users password. I enter this in, and the software then installs (tested with blender, libreoffice, opencl driver). My user does *not* have sudo access on the system. $ sudo su - [sudo] password for jason: jason is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
