Hi I've been running Ubuntu 20.04 (Gnome desktop) for about 3 weeks, from a clean install.
Most days I get a notification dialog informing me of pending updates. Sometimes I install immediately, other times I'll click the "Remind Me Later" button. I've noticed an inconsistency regarding whether I am required to enter a password before the update proceeds. There appears to be no pattern determined by whether I install immediately or delay it until later. Does anybody know if the security policy for updates has changed? In all previous Ubuntu incarnations I've used I've always, without exception, had to provide a password prior to an update proceeding. Discretionary updates using the command line or Synaptic always require a password, so the issue seems to be concerned solely with the updater service. It looks like a bug to me but I don't want to waste anybody's time if it is in some way intentional. Thanks Nige
