I bit the bullet that all would go well. The bullet tastes like.
Today’s venture in to updating, I clicked update on the notice in Notifications. It’s been nagging me for a few days.and let it do it’s thing. It did, it’s been installing for about over 4 hours - wait for it!
I was going to ask what will happen if I click the ‘Cancel’ installing button. I got called away to a server with a Trojan. I forget about this problem, and just realized that the post wasn’t posted. I had closed the 20+ tabs and thought I lost all this. So, about 8 hours ago is when I started this and forgot to Submit it. Follow me?
So, I looked at the screen on L5 and it’s still installing. at least 8 hours now.
Guess what. I had just shut down the Installing window.
So - I have revised the question :> if it shows installing for 8 hours.would it crash a program perhaps if only partially installed?
Is there install clutter that could become a issue? Or just bloat?
The downloaded packages are likely cached, so you can try restarting the installation process. If you want a more efficient and reliable method, use CLI instead.
I’m not sure I ever had that thing working correctly for updates, it would hang like that. No idea what the deal with that is, I ended up just using the CLI.
Frankly, IMO, CLI is ONLY useful to those with a great deal of CLI command knowledge; names of files, and map to where the updates are etcetera. The L5 updates should work. So should the PureOS store.
When you purchase a Librem 5, you can be confident that we will continue to provide security updates, privacy improvements, bug fixes, and new features…
I look forward to the day.
BTW - L5 is still cancelling. I tried the “Cancel” option hours after I posted this Topic on October 9.. It was still cancelling so since I can’t just cancel the canceling, I just powered off.
Thought I’d try it again today. I figure that all 4 updates totaling about 685.8 meg which might be security updates, privacy improvements, bug fixes, and new features… are needed updates. I tried. to cancel updates on L5 again, and failed - again.
The most expensive game I ever bought was 2024. It works.
For the price, no one should have to take up Linux CLI.
I did what @ASwyD2 suggested and cancelled the updates. That failed to cancel. the little bar over Cancel just ignore “cancel” and keeps on canceling. Since I doubt there is a method within CLI commands to cancel the cancellation, I just powdered off.
Same thing today. Meh. For the longest time, only politicians could irk my ire. Now I have a new irk.
That;s why duops don’t wait and sell very well. One has to weigh out do I really have the time or desire to make the L5 a hobby, so it gets some use, or save a heck of a lot of time, aggravation, and grief, or join the crowd of Googies or Appleheads. Back when I was looking for privacy phones, I think now, I took the wrong road and paid a darned big toll.
I know. ‘feel free to sell the L5 and get a spyphone’ but I take offense to being hosed.

Up to you. I donated the one I won from the raffle:
I will probably donate my Librem 5 USA locally in the near future as well, since I cannot justify going through the trouble of selling it to anyone a second time.
Yes, my smartphone choice is no longer a personal matter to appease my moral compass at the expense of my security framework and practices, and now I have no dependencies on Purism for anything of value anymore.
