Updating Zorin OS in persistent mode

[Trilback]

I have Zorin OS installed on flash drive in persistent mode. When I try and do software updater I get an error not all updates can be installed and only give me a partial upgrade button and continue button

How much Persistence do You have set up?

[Trilback]

A lot of it I think. Not at home to check. I did notice it's trying to do a kernal update

I only have a live stick without persistence. When I had problems with updating the solution was given to me to hold back packages from upgrading because they blocked the package installer.

Can´t update in Zorin 18 live mode

I get this error in live mode: [Bildschirmfoto vom 2025-10-30 16-21-11] I already tried rebooting the stick sudo dpkg --configure -a sudo apt install -f sudo apt remove --purge linux-image-6.14.0-34-generic and the commands didn´t help. Is the USB boot stick broken? I can´t install anyting now. I used the stick the last days and never had problems.

Since then, I've only been using sudo apt update and not sudo apt upgrade and I haven't had any problems. Without the update command the packages I want to install are not found. Before I had always used the upgrade command but it had made the problems. I don't need the newest kernel updates and firmware updates for my Zorin 18 testing purposes. I just want to install some apps and explore the new OS.
Unfortunately, I am not familiar with persistence.

It would be good to know. And You could try it over the Terminal. Maybe You get there a more specific Output about the Error. So, it would ge good when You make a sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade in the Terminal and then post the Output of it here.
