View Full Version : [kubuntu] At least two kernel upgrades this week

Hello,

I use Kubuntu 10.04 and I find it very strange that this week, at least twice, the Linux kernel has been upgraded without prompting for confirmation:

As far as I know, there has been only one security vulnerability.
I have the option "Install security updates without confirmation" disabled.


I actually have the feeling there's even a third time, but I'm not sure because I was busy with something else and I just saw the dialog to restart the computer.

Is this normal?

Thanks.

Hi Gustavo Narea.

A number of kubuntu users are reporting automatic installs, even though the settings are not set to auto.

The devs are sure to fix this soon, as it is security related.

I saw a thread, that stated kwallet was giving permissions to something it normally wouldn't.

This may not be it.
