As I recently included ALL updates to be downloaded and have run across this problem were I have been waiting for these installations to complete for more than 3 hours .....
This has been going on for the past 4 days I usually just shut them off after 10-15 minutes but today I just let them run to see how long it will take ..... the next day they will appear again asking to be downloaded .....
Photo of my Software & Update setting and what is supposedly installing ......
The same packages? Or new updates?
To be perfectly honest I have no idea ..... it just appeared like that when I allowed ALL updates ..... it apparently downloaded the updates but won't or can't install them .....
Before I only had security updates enabled .....
I don't think automatically installation apply to flatpaks/snaps, bu tI could be wrong.
close the store and then;
sudo flatpak updateHere's what I got ..... I didn't choose the Y button yet as I'm not sure if I want those changes to take place to my system .... are they OK ?????
