(In reply to Manuel Hiebel from comment #1) > Isn't it the password users which is needed ? I will try it next time the notyfier appears. Normally my favorite distros are Centos, Fedora, and Debian, they all require the root password for updates, for this is a root task. Ubuntu and ubuntu-based systems require the user password, for they have abolished root principle. One reason why I do not use those distros So I hope it is not the user password in Mageia ;)
Traditionally on Mageia it's the user password by default, but configurable through draksec to change this. It *should* still be the case on Mageia 4.

It really is, tried it out yesterday. But IMHO updating a system should require root privilegies. So I recommend by default for updates should root password be required, and if necessary change it in draksec Can be closed
