Muon updates does not ask for password

[Bumpalot]

Muon Updates displays all updates, on selecting "install", it does not ask for password..
This popup message displays

Tried several time, ..same result!

Start by doing the update from the command line, this might fix a one-off problem.
Oor if you like me like a nice graphical user interface, ditch this updater and use the Muon Package Manager, a much more complete tool.

I have seen this recently but only in a secondary session.
I use x2go and do not try to take control of an existing session, so in the secondary session I get this if I try to apply updates with the Muon Updater.
The main session does not have any issue.

Tried Muon Package Manager too - does the same thing! Apparently there is a long list of recent bugs.
I used Synaptic to get the updates.
Thanks

glad you got your updates ............

and how you get them is of course your decision , but if you use the comand line you will get (usually) better info on what is not working if something go's south .

I do this

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

to do my updates whenever I feal like or if I see a notifacation of some .

your original problem looks (maby) like a policy kit problem .
