How to disable 'Authentication Required Pop Up'

English Applications
1

Hello,

We are running SUSE 15 SP3 with a Gnome desktop environment. Users remotely access this desktop session over a VNC Session. Whenever they connect to a session, they are prompted with “Authentication is required to refresh system repositories”.
Users shouldn’t see this pop up and they shouldn’t be able to update system repositories.
I have following gsettings to suppress this but hasn’t helped.

[org/gnome/software]
download-updates-notify=false
[org/gnome/software]
download-updates=false
[org/gnome/software]
allow-updates=false

I have seen few solutions around policykit, but those are meant to allow users to update the packages.

Any feedback is helpful.

But as tag you have chosen leap-15.5.

Very confusing. These are the openSUSE forums, not the SLES/SLED forums.

If you tried to understand what these solutions do you would have realized that you can just as well prohibit any action instead of allowing it.

If you’re using SUSE 15 SP3, you will have much better luck getting help, by posting on the SUSE Linux section at https://forums.rancher.com/
