I press 'Install Updates' and then it will say
Requires installation of untrusted packages
The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources.
then it will ask me to close. This happens for every update. It seems the update manager is self-defeating.
The details section is a mess. It just seems to list all the updates that won't work, ie all:

Mind you, it does this even for the Ubuntu updates. I've checked the authentication in the settings and nothing seems to be the problem.
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
from the command line and report back the error message.
