DOWNLOADING UPDATES?

[JakkHakk]

Here is what I just got when attempting to update my system using Synaptic.
First I refreshed the list after starting Synaptic and then let it run from there.
Came back and found this:

W: Failed to fetch http://archive.neon.kde.org/user/pool/ma..._amd64.deb

Man... I just have not had any luck with your guys OS since the third or fourth release of NetRunner back in the day!

sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vfr
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt full-upgrade

sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vfr
sudo update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt full-upgrade

Thanks ... but this has been an issue with NetRunner, as well.

You forgot the 'apt' in Sudo Update.  

I just don't know why they can't have this kind of thing working before shipping the OS!

Nothing else was open.

BTW: when I ran, ~$ sudo apt upgrade  -I got the following:


E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

Nothing else is open.

Either it is a temporary update to the servers or you have a outdated packagelist (apt-get update needs to run as root) or you have connection problems to the server in general.
Of course before releasing we tested everything and only release if it works to our satisfaction.

Why can't I use 'su' to become root?

Tried this several times and always errors out.

Root account is disabled like on Ubuntu. You need to use sudo within a terminal for cli apps

Thanks but didn't make sense to me in my case.

But if you've gotten away from UFlunkToo oops... I mean Ubuntu...

Why would you Keep doing things the same as that distro?

We use the defaults from KDE Neon here. The usage of sudo is a security measurement.
