    Without telling your distro this question is not helpful.

    Discover uses packagekit, an abstraction layer that can do things like install, update, remove on many different distros.

    So this might be distro-independent, but maybe not.

    Try to enter in the terminal pkcon upgrade and if a GUI password prompt pops up, click on “expand” and see the action that is used like org.somenama.packagekit_update

    This GUI prompt might also already be the one you described

      Sorry I thought that Discover was only used on KDE neon, which thefore is the distro, and the CLI equivalent is indeed the one you mentioned.

      So what’s the solution for this distro ?

      Thanks

        I used Neon for a while. Again, can you please give the needed information. If the password dialog shows, at the left click on “expand”/“show more” and you see the exact action that is executed.

        Then have a look at the rules in my linked repo, and replace the action in “libvirt” with that, and the group with “wheel”

        (Use groups and send me the output, no idea if the sudo users are in the sudo group on Ubuntu)

        Then send that rule, embed it in

        ``` Rule ```

        To format correctly. I look at it and if it is correct, we go on.

          org.freedesktop.packagekit.system-update

            I have examples in the repo I linked

            polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
              if action.id == "org.freedesktop.packagekit.system-update" {
                if subject.isInGroup("wheel") {
                  return polkit.Result.YES;
                }
              }
            });
            

            Please ask KDE Neon devs, if placing this rule as /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/packagekit-update.rules is safe
