I tried to explain that after starting the "Software Updater", using the menu as well as using the command line both do result in the expected behavior of showing the list of packages to be upgraded, but the problem is that when I then try to proceed, so really start the update, no update is performed. So far I only used the menu System Tools/Software Updater to really start the update, not using the command line. <pre wrap="">I checked <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/8458/how-to-update-ubuntu-terminal#8460">https://askubuntu.com/questions/8458/how-to-update-ubuntu-terminal#8460</a> It shows Update software(s) i.e. apply updates: sudo apt-get upgrade My question is now: Is it a good check to try running "sudo apt-get upgrade" to see if update will then be performed, because I did not yet tried. Hopefully now it is more clear what my problem is.

If it appears to hang are you sure there it has not popped up a window behind other windows or on a different screen? Do you sometimes use multiple screens but now not got them all plugged in? What happens if in a terminal you run sudo apt update Are there any other obvious things not operating as expected? Colin </pre> </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote> </body> </html>
