I don't know if this will help debugging this any, but apt-get requires a password but the Update Manager (Synaptic, I believe) from within Xfce4 doesn't.HelloAfter having a recent fresh installation, I've noticed that the update notifier no longer seeks root privileges before downloading/ installing software packages.This is not a big concern as I am the only user. However, I do like the reassurance of having to deliberately do things as root, so I would like it to not proceed without root permissions.How do I set it up, so that the root password is asked for automatically? I am using Squeeze (freshly squeezed as of May 30th). Thanks AG
Has anyone else noticed this? I wouldn't mind forcing it to request root's password, but there are no apparent options to adjust the security settings from within the application itself. Might this be an issue to do with membership on specific groups perhaps?
Thanks for any ideas. AG
