My "Software Updater" does not seem to be executing
When I click on "Software Updater" via "System--Administration--" nothing happens.
I do not get the small window for checking for updates. I have tried several times, and I have waited for a few minutes.
Is this a software bug? Is this something that I must fix myself?
Thank you.
Please update using synaptic or apt.
The issue is fixed on the latest updates xD

Thank you for your reply. I should have mentioned that I am using Nabia, version 10.0.1, not version 11, Aramo.
Is the Aramo information information relevant to me? What is/are the specific command(s) that I need to execute?
My knowledge of the command line is limited.
Thanks again.
Here are the two commands to execute in a terminal (the "$" sign is the prompt: do not type it):
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt upgrade
I assume here you are an administrator of the system. It is necessarily the case if there is only one user. sudo asks for your password: type it (it is normal that nothing appears on the screen while you type) and then type [Enter].
The first command updates the information about the available packages. The second command upgrades them to the latest versions available in the repository. Trisquel being a "stable" GNU/Linux distribution, they are the versions you already have but with bugs (in particular security bugs!) fixed. There are a few exceptions though: Abrowser (the default Web browser), Icedove (the default email client), LibreOffice (the default office suite), and maybe other applications I am not aware of (@Ark74: is there a list somewhere?) will be updated to the latest upstream versions.
For newer versions of all the packages, you can upgrade to Trisquel 11 Aramo. After running the two commands above, the Update Manager should propose you to do so graphically. You want to accept before April 2025, which is Trisquel 10 Nabia's end of support. Do so when you have time to fix possible problems with the upgrade (this forum can help) and to adapt to the newer versions of the applications.
Thank you, Magic Banana.
I had an easy time understanding your instructions.
I will do these things tomorrow (probably).

I was successful in getting "Software Updater" to reappear and function.
The command(s) restored the 3 update-manager files, and they also updated Abrowser.
(I also executed a "sudo apt autoremove", as it suggested.)
Once again, thank you very much, Magic Banana.
Hi!
I did sudo apt update. I got:

I did fresh install Triskel (KDE). What can I do to solve this? Change repository?
Change repository?
Yes. Possibly from the "Software & Updates" utility. https://mirror.operationtulip.com/trisquel/packages is clearly not dependable (click on the link and see).
mirror.operationtulip.com/trisquel/packages
This mirror domain has expired and seems it will be down for good, it has been removed from the cdimage archive, but I wonder where is it coming from as a package mirror as it isn't listed on python3-apt source.
Regards.
If i change to https://mirror.librelabucm.org/trisquel/ Spain (LibreLabUCM, Madrid) and changing all other "operationtulip" mirror i will break my system? It is safe to do it?
