A few minutes later I got a message to the effect that there was some
kind of system problem, did I want to report it? I said yes. It came
back and said it couldn't be reported because it wasn't an official
Ubuntu something or other. Then it said to remove all third party
whats-its. It would seem to me that if it knows what's causing the
problem, it could say what it is, or maybe direct me to the right log.
Sigh.
The first thing I would try is Synaptic instead of Software Updater.
Set it to Sections and then Upgradable. This should give you a list of
what Ubuntu wants to update.
I found a button labeled Sections. For Upgradable, do you mean the
button I have near the top of the window that says "Mark All Upgrades"?
That does give me a list starting with:
To be installed
libboost-local1.58.0
libqmi-glib5
To be upgraded
apt-transport-https
...
xserver-xorg-viceo-radeon-hwe-16.04
(It's a long list.)
Failing that, at the command line try some of these:
sudo apt-get clean
deletes the cache
sudo apt-get update
fetches the list of available updates
sudo apt-get upgrade
upgrades the current packages
sudo do-release-upgrade
upgrades to 16.10 or 18.04
Work calls, so I'll have to postpone trying these until this afternoon.
Thanks for your ideas.
