Re: [Bug 30583] Re: Sudo password required to show updates
i am the root user... if I open up update-manager and leave it open, fetching a new list of updates requires a login which is unnecessary.

I guess apt-get update will remain to be a sudo.

[Bug 30583] Re: Sudo password required to show updates
If the update manager icon shows new updates, you can now (edgy, feisty) view that list without sudo. However, if you click the check button, it prompts for a password. This is annoying, because you can't check for new updates without typing your password, even if there actually aren't any. But, the system can automatically check for updates in the background without your password, so I don't see why a password should be required.

[Bug 30583] Re: Sudo password required to show updates
A password is needed since you modify your system. If you press on the check button the list of available software will be updated and all repositories will be queried. If the check is done by a background job, it will be launched by the root user and we can trust the root user fully. So no need to ask for a password in this case. Keeping a private cache for the user would require to this for every user or perhaps every app. -- Sudo password required to show updates https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/30583 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
