When I open the Lubuntu Update app from the menu it takes me straight in to the app. When I click on Check For Updates it uses LXQt Sudo to ask for the password to do a checkupdate. Then after that finishes, I click on Install Updates and once again LXQt Sudo asks me for the password, this time for a doupdate. From a user experience point of view this is less satisfactory than Software Sources, where LXQt sudo comes up a single time to allow me to run software-properties-qt, before the interface appears, but that at least then has all the power it needs to run.

I understand that there may be something to do with the Systray icon and notification from the /usr/lib/apt/apt.systemd.daily tasks that made you choose this interface flow, but please bear in mind it is a sub-par flow when called manually from the start menu, and you might like to rethink how privileges are elevated in that case.

Thanks
