with new installation of f10 and get an auto notice that updates are available.

when i select 'update', 'kpackagekit' pops up showing selection for updates.

when i select 'update' again, i get a notice of 'authentication failed'.

so just what authentication is failing and how do i authenticate?

also, i would use 'yum update', but there are too many for limited disk space.
or would i be better off updating in an alphabetical order?

searching last 2 months of emails show no similar error.


suggestions? pointers? links?

tia.


peace out.

tc,hago.
