All I see in System Settings are: "Software & Updates," "Software Updater,"
"Synaptic Package Manager," and "User Accounts."
In "Software & Updates," the most logical place of these in which to look, I
see the following settings:
> Auto check: Daily
> When: Display immediately
> Other: Display weekly
> Notify: For long-term support versions
> Authenticate: Trusted sources --> only one is listed
I see no place in which I can explicitly choose not to be challenged.
Where I live in SE Pennsylvania, there are many stop signs at intersections
which have an informational sign below the standard red octagonal Stop sign
which says, "Right turn keep moving." This is a convenience for the local
drivers, but for inexperienced drivers (e.g., visitors from another state)
it's a shock to have someone drive right in front of one without even looking
to the left. Such may be the situation here in Software Updater: No Stop sign
any more 'cuz it's not needed for the locals.
No one else uses this system ... does that mean that I can safely stop
worrying about this change in behaviour ?
FileZilla doesn't save my P/W when I exit; nor does Trisquel 7 fail to
challenge me on startup; and Grub only skips its challenge when I chose to
start Win7 occasionally, but always asks for username & P/W when I go to the
"Advanced" tab.
