&& starts a new command, so you need to add sudo between && and apt-get

In tutorials, you see quite often commands prefixed with either # or $. They are the typical login prompts, # for root and $ for non-root and they indicate what privileges are required to execute them.
How to become root is a matter of preference.
Hope that helps to avoid confusion in the future.

I appreciate not being left to my own ignorance! :-)
Just be patient with me....I'll eventually get it :-)

I'm guessing but I'd put it down to the number of posts you have made.

(11-03-2019, 01:58 PM)Der Geist der Maschine Wrote: That icon is mostly updating the kernel, uboot and device tree. You should update the actual Debian system from time to time via
# apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
I would recomend:
# apt update && apt upgrade
instead. It's slightly shorter and nicer for interactive use. Besides, 'apt upgrade' should be sufficient for the same release.
'apt full-upgrade' or 'apt-get dist-upgrade' are only needed when upgrading to the next release or if you are running Debian's testing or unstable versions.
You might also want to run 'apt autoremove' (or 'apt --purge autoremove' if you understand the difference between 'remove' and 'purge') when suggested by apt.

This build also includes a root terminal. I found that some commands worked with it, that did not work with sudo.
RE: Default OS update log - Der Geist der Maschine - 11-04-2019
Let me slightly rephrase what I wrote earlier about keeping the system up to date:
Let me clarify what you got. You did not get a full blown Debian, but Debian minus the installer minus uboot, kernel, initrd and other small things like extlinux.conf.
Instead of the installer, you got an .img file. That's a pitty, but not relevant for keeping the system up to date.
Instead of getting uboot, the kernel and initrd from Debian you got them from Mrfixit.
* You need to update what comes from Debian with Debian's own commands:
Code:
$ sudo sh -c "apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade && apt-get autoremove --purge"or what amp prefers
Code:
$ sudo sh -c "apt update && apt upgrade && apt autoremove"It would not surprise me if there are GUIs around this task.
* You need to update what comes from Mrfixit by clicking on his icon.
I suggested some time ago in this very same thread https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=7830&pid=48815#pid48815 to provide deb packages for Mrfixit's changes so that they would be seamlessly installed as part of the apt-get commands, but that has not happened. Now, we need to update both parts separately.
Also, you got Debian 9 although the latest Debian version is 10. Debian 9 gets long term (security) support till 06/2022.
