I have windows PC with a VM installed. I installed Ubuntu 20.04 to learn Linux. I am unable to install anything due to an Authentication required. I have seen there is a way to disable this authenication requirement. Is there a script or a list of the commands to disable it?

  • Please tell us an example of what you want to install and how you try to do it. – sudodus Jun 04 '21 at 14:31
  • Why do you want to disable it? Just type your password (the same that you use to login to the machine) in the "authentication required" window. – raj Jun 04 '21 at 14:31
  • Can you [edit] your question to include which VM engine you installed Ubuntu with? A VirtualBox or VMware installation will act differently from a WSL2 installation … – matigo Jun 04 '21 at 15:03

When you installed Ubuntu you choosed a user name and a password. When asked for authentication simply enter the password choosen earlier.

  • My apologies! I obviously forgot I had selected a Password on installation. I removed Ubuntu and Installed it again. I will remember the password! Will also pay more attention! Thank You!! – Toody Jun 05 '21 at 23:45
