Update Problem

This weekend (3 days ago), I received an update notice (upgrade Abrowser and an important security update). I went through the steps, but the status bar never did anything, and I got tired of waiting. I then cancelled the update.
I have not found anything on my Trisquel (or on the Trisquel web page) for checking for and installing updates. What happened?, and what should I do?
Thank you. (I have been using Trisquel for at least 7 months.)

Open up a terminal and copy paste this:

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

Enter your password when prompted. Your packages will now be updated.
If the update service will run into some errors you can see what is going wrong.

The graphical application is called 'update-manager'. You can find it in the "System settings".

I much appreciate everyone's assistance with this issue. I will give one (or more) of these a try. Thanks.

I tried both methods (terminal and graphical). They both said essentially the same thing: that no updates were installed, that there are no updates to install, and that my system is up-to-date. Thanks, again.
