The Problem

The “Sudo password auto-fill” feature does not appear to work on Ubuntu Server 26.04. When a command requiring sudo privileges is executed, the auto-fill password pop-up is not appearing and the action cannot proceed as expected.

This may be related to changes in Ubuntu Server 26.04 introducing a new sudo authentication dialog/prompt behaviour.

How to Reproduce

1. Set up Ubuntu Server 26.04.
2. Configure and enable the “Sudo password auto-fill” feature.
3. Execute a command that requires sudo privileges (for example: sudo apt update).
4. Observe the sudo password prompt/dialog.
5. Notice that the pop-up isn't appear.

Additional Context

This issue may be caused by changes in the sudo authentication flow in Ubuntu Server 26.04. The system now appears to display a different sudo prompt/dialog compared to previous Ubuntu versions (see attached screenshot). The current auto-fill implementation may not recognize or interact correctly with the new prompt behaviour.
