That's a pretty long stretch -- assuming that all users have the admin password. This is *exactly* the mentality that has lead to millions of windows machines being exploited and botnet soldiers. "Users" should not have the admin password. > so iam not > sure what you mean by 'update manager appears for users who dont have > permission to install' Again, not all users have admin rights. You need to stop thinking about the simplistic case of "home user" that installs Ubuntu on their own machine. In a properly managed corporate environment, the "users" won't have admin rights. -- [Jaunty] Update Notifier icon would provide useful status information / new update-manager behaviour is annoying https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/332945 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
