how to install updates? - someGermanGuy - 04-26-2022
i have the software application running that states there are updates. but it just does not install any of them. when i click on "install" or "upgrade" or what that button shows, it shortly says "cancel" and thats it, nothing else happens.
i thought i could do that manually with a terminal like apk update, but i dont have any root password
so how can i install updates without all the time reinstalling the complete OS?

There is a default root password which should be 147147, https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php?title=PinePhone_Software_Releases#postmarketOS
Personally, I've never had luck updating with the software center and it takes up way too much resources for doing nothing so I ended up deleting it.

147147 did not work, also my PIN does not work with sudo
how do you install updates?
