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.– sudodusJun 4, 2021 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.– rajJun 4, 2021 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 …– matigoJun 4, 2021 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!!– ToodyJun 5, 2021 at 23:45
