I can not install the updates in Kubuntu 9.10 Beta.
Message : Have no privilages to do this...
For that matter i can not install , for exemple Firestarter, can it be fixed ?

Yes you should be able to fix this problem, after all the error message is unmistakable.

But can you first clarify how you are attempting these updates, in other words which application generates the message?

Updates should only be allowed with the correct Super User privileges and therefore the application should ask for your password.

When you prefer to do the update from the command line you prepend the apt-get command with sudo:

sudo apt-get update

Next you're asked for the password and when the update is finished you should do:

sudo apt-get upgrade

(When the second command is done right after the first it does not ask for a new input of the password.)

Thank you for Your answer. Gonna try that.
I was using in the info-button who indicate that there ware updates, i click on it, and i have the message when i marked all updates " No privileges "
Than i used the packet-manager, same thing.
I was wrong, gonna try it like You say.
Let now if i am succeeded.

Succeeded Teunis, and again thank You for the advice.
Kubuntu is a very nice KDE4, i am a Gnome-Fan, but i like the KDE4 more and more.
Have a nice weekend,

Notice that once you update for the first time through the terminal thereafter update can be done as normal.

btw this issue with beta version has been discussed before here only a few posts down.
