...

Hello,

I did an update on 10.1 with Smart yesterday, Sunday, several of the updates were to do with the Zen Updater, libzyp, etc. On rebooting the PC and logging in I get an error message about needing superuser permissions to run Zen Updater. Upon closing this message the tray icon disappears as well. This happens on any user.

I found a workaround by running rug ue username then +superuser. Is this the correct way of fixing this problem? Can I stop the error message for other users without making them have superuser

on rug?

I have not seen this and it is a bug.

What repositories do you use?

Have you added unsigned repositories?

ciao, Marcus
