If a user downloads an infected .deb file and then enters their root password to install the software, could the malware take control over their computer? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-settings in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1854682 Title: Feature request: Add option to "Privacy" in Ubuntu Settings that would enable/disable software installation outside trusted app stores.
