I rebooted my machine after and this software was installed. I'm assuming it was from something I've updated, because I haven't installed anything.

Is this part of a new Ubuntu update or something? I'm on Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS.

  • "Without consent" seems highly unlikely. There is no nefarious plan to force Multipass on unsuspecting users. How exactly did you discover that it was installed? – user535733 May 09 '21 at 01:09
  • Have a look at `history` and see what was typed and logged. "Is this part of a new Ubuntu update or something?" No. And nothing depends on it. Are you the only admin on this system? Maybe you installed something using a wildcard? – Rinzwind May 09 '21 at 01:17

    Does this answer your question? [Can I see why a package is installed?](https://askubuntu.com/questions/5636/can-i-see-why-a-package-is-installed) – muru May 09 '21 at 01:31
  • @user535733 it started showing an indicator in the top bar. – Daniel May 10 '21 at 12:48
  • @Rinzwind I'm the only user. I never installed this or used a wildcard recently. – Daniel May 10 '21 at 12:49
  • @muru it looks like it was never installed with `apt`, so that doesn't reveal anything. – Daniel May 10 '21 at 12:51
  • Then where did you see it installed? Is it in the output of `snap list`? – muru May 10 '21 at 15:16
