[SOLVED] update program

[nilsA]

The upgrade program does not work and is impossible to close. If I try updating in the terminal, I can't do that either, because the process is running.

The problem seems to be, nowhere to type the password in order to allow updating/upgrading.

So, what to do?

the easiest way to close it is just restart the box .

or you could

ps aux | grep discover

get the PID of the process and then use "kill" on the PID# like "kill 1824" or whatever # it had in that ps output.

save the trouble and just do you updates in the Konsole

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

even if "discover" is not running (has closed)you will still get 1 line in that command showing "grep" looking for discover .
