Tanks for the fast answer Abattoir. I must admit that I used the username "admin" as the first user, and wasn't aware of the group named "admin". Check your proposal out, and found that it did the trick.
It would too have been nice, if the error in the notice box could have stated something like "Missing privileges." instead of "Conversation with su failed." - at least it fooled me, but maybe i'm the only one!. Anyway i can't help thinking that this "feature" could become a security risk over time, as it prevent normal users from running the updates manager when a update notification is shown. Could it be possible to make this work to a normal user ? At least but not last, sorry for posting under "oem-config", marked the bug as "I don't know" in the first place, but that seemed to be overruled by launchpad. Tried to change that too by editing the bug, but it wasn't possible either.... -- Elevated privileges as new created user https://launchpad.net/bugs/64612 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
