[SOLVED] Apps close?

Should all apps & browsers be closed will updating?

When shall one know that system is upto date & requires no more updating?

Thanks,

Hi Chris,

yes; you should always close all apps when updating and the system will never stop updating as long as that particular distro is being supported, in the case of Zorin 6 Core Final, for 5 years!!.

There is probably a few different ways, but after running sudo apt-get update, I just run autoremove in the terminal. The last bit of data shows there are 0 packages to upgrade. (And you clean out any left-over unnecessary clutter.)

Hi,

the danger of the autoremove command is that it can take out depndencies which are needed by other apps!!, it is safer to use Bleachbit!!.

Regards Wolfman

I use this all the time without problems. I have used Bleachbit with BAD results. Anyway, to each their own. This is just a simple way for the OP to see if there are any un-updated/upgraded packages. You can run autoremove and select "no" at the prompt if you don't want to run it.

Code:

vaio@VGC-LS1:~$  sudo apt-get autoremove

Thanks MMTMM & Wolfman.
