http://ubuntuforums.org – Hello community! I'd love to ask if it is possibile to run apt-get update and upgrade without password prompt, in other words, I want to make anyone be able to install security updates on my machine, but only updates. (Hardware)

Stories similar to [all variants] apt-get update/upgrade

Good day,

When I log into my web server via SSH I see the information:

88 packages can be updated. 80 updates are security updates

I tried apt-get update then apt-get upgrade but each time I log in I still see the message about updates. How do I install them?

What have I missed? Precise, 2D Unity, Auto-login to a single admin account. Update Manager set to present all updates daily. Synaptic used for individual package management otherwise. Password always prompted for by that application at all operations.

At the last couple of update presentations, Update Manager didn't prompt for admin password when okayed to install updates.

Let's say I open the Update Manager, and my package list is a couple of days old, or I do apt-get upgrade without doing an apt-get update first, what is the result of this?

If there have been updates since I last did a 'check' in the Update Manager, do I not get the latest version? Or do I simply not get updates on packages which had not updates at the time of my last check?

patching .net framework 20 weeks 3 hours ago

im in the process of creating the company 'model' client machine, its based on windows 7. and i was wondering if i need to install the updades to all the versions of .net framework installed, or i could just upgrade to .net 4.5 and install only the updates for this version?. in other words..

When I connect via SSH, I get this:

Code: Welcome to Ubuntu 13.04 (GNU/Linux 3.8.0-19-generic x86_64)

 * Documentation:  https://help.ubuntu.com/

0 packages can be updated. 0 updates are security updates.

New release '13.04' available. Run 'do-release-upgrade' to upgrade to it. So, apparently, it's encouraging me to upgrade from 13.04 to 13.04

Any idea what is going on?

P.S.

[SOLVED] Ubuntu 12.10 upgrade 28 weeks 4 days ago

Hi everyone!

I have Ubuntu 12.10 Today, after sudo apt-get update and upgrade, in the software updater I still have 6 updates related with "Important security updates". Is it normal behavior? How can I do complete update from terminal?

Today I checked for updates and got an error message telling me I must do a partial upgrade. I was shocked to see how many updates there were available. 900+ Updates!

[ubuntu] held back kernel updates 36 weeks 22 hours ago

Hi there! this is about Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS

Whenever I log in the system is telling me that there are 6 updates pending, 6 of them being security updates.

I'm doing apt-get update followed by apt-get upgrade and then it tells me it held back: linux-headers-server linux-image-server linux-server

So, apparently these are kernel updates and I know I have to do a dist upgrade to get rid

How to prevent Muon from asking a password when installing updates? Adding "user ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" to sudoers does not help. "sudo apt-get upgrade" works without a password, but Muon is still asking for it. It is very annoying to enter password every day to install updates. (Kubuntu 12.04)
