Important software updates are available...

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – I upgraded from Fedora 15 to 17 with mostly no problems and it is working fine. However, every now and again I get a notification that "Important software updates are available". When I click on the button to install them, it displays the list of updates and I can click "Install Updates". When I do this, it looks like it is installing the first one but then stops and tells me it failed to obtain authentication. It never asked me for authentication! Should I just do a yum update and ignore this mechanism? What's the scoop? Thanks, D (HowTos)

Hello Fedorians:

I am new here (my first post) and I am just trying Fedora 17 KDE on a Virtual Box setup on my 3GHz machine with 3GB of ram and plenty of hard drive space.

[ubuntu] Updates - EWWWWW!!! 23 weeks 2 days ago

Running 10.10 (Just can't abide the 12.10 desktop) and everything is working fine.However I do fear installing the (hundreds) of updates as a previous experience with Mint where updates caused a previous installation (that worked fine) crashed after installing updates.

Does the old adage "if it ain't broke don't fix it" apply in 10.10 or can I be ASSURED the updates won't cause proble

Hi everyone,

Hopefully someone can help me with this. I noticed recently that the software updater is not asking for a password. It does not ask for a password when i click on the "install now" button, nor does it ask for a password when I click on the settings button. The settings button brings up the software sources window.

The update information is outdated. This may be caused by network problems or by a repository that is no longer available. Please update manually by clicking on this icon and then selecting 'Check for updates' and check if some of the listed repositories fail."

I click show updates and then it opens the update manager and i click check.

I've been having this problem for almost a week. On my HTC EVO 4g, when I log into the Facebook app, I can see my news feed for about 10-30 seconds before I am kicked out with the "Authentication Failed" message.

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04. I am new at Ubuntu. The system has given me a message that says "you must check updates manually" ... "You can configure this behavior in Software Sources on the Updates tab".

But I can't find Software Sources.
