I click on "settings" click "details" click "check for updates" and get a
message that says "software is up to date".

Also I have not had a popup to update the system for a month or two.  In
"software & updates" I have set to check for updates every two weeks and for
every new version.

The GUI does not work, unless there is some other place to do the update.  I am
not much of a command line user which why I asked what commands I should use to
update the system.
