I am running it inside a virtualbox vm - and it always killed my VM. I then
ran it from terminal as per this link:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/196768/how-to-install-updates-via-command-line
and it comes up with this msg, which is what I presume is freezing it:
Package configuration
┌──────────────────────────┤ Configuring grub-pc ├──────────────────────────┐
│ │
│ The GRUB boot loader was previously installed to a disk that is no │
│ longer present, or whose unique identifier has changed for some reason. │
│ It is important to make sure that the installed GRUB core image stays in │
│ sync with GRUB modules and grub.cfg. Please check again to make sure │
│ that GRUB is written to the appropriate boot devices. │
│ │
│ If you're unsure which drive is designated as boot drive by your BIOS, │
│ it is often a good idea to install GRUB to all of them. │
│ │
│ Note: it is possible to install GRUB to partition boot records as well, │
│ and some appropriate partitions are offered here. However, this forces │
│ GRUB to use the blocklist mechanism, which makes it less reliable, and │
│ therefore is not recommended.
and then
┌───────────┤ Configuring grub-pc ├───────────┐
│ GRUB install devices: │
│ │
│ [ ] /dev/sda (35279 MB; VBOX_HARDDISK) │
│ [ ] - /dev/sda1 (33130 MB; /) │
│ │

│ <Ok> │
