ETA on Updates

Hardware Librem 5

Drats!

L5 showed there was update to install Oh Oh.

So I tapped to let it update. That was about 3 hours ago and it id still :Checking". i.e. the little circle spins beside “Checking”.

It does say “This could take awhile”.

It goes to sleep in “awhile”. I kept a eye on it and I would just log in again and still see “Checking”

Do I stop it and best way to do that?

I just slid the screen up, and it shows a Puri store logo (white shopping bag). Bingo, if that’s the server serving the update, that is the problem, The store has only worked once for me and that was to install a program.

I’m sure there is a long and convoluted way of using a lot of Linux (PureOS in this case) commands to install updates. Do I have top go through that? Was it something I said :sweat_smile:

What happens if I shut down - reboot and skip updates until there is a repair for it?

Tnx

You could hit the refresh button in upper left hand corner.

Nothing bad. It might reset it enough to get your updates though.

Actually pretty easy:

sudo apt update
apt list --upgradable
sudo apt upgrade

Hope this helps :slight_smile:
