Hi everyone, I'm using a ubuntu 15.10 Unity version. I click on Sofware Update in Settings but nothing happens. Everything else on Settings responds, but not Updates. I ran

Code:

sudo apt-get update && apt-get ugrade

but I can't start updates gui in settings. I'm trying to install video drivers for my video card

What is the message that the terminal returns when you run sudo apt-get update?

I just went to System Settings-->Software and Updates in VM of Ubuntu 14.04. By default, it opens to the Ubuntu Software tab. Unless something has changed in the newer version, that seems to be for configuring how frequently the system will check for updates, not for actually installing updates.

For your video drivers, try going to the Additional Drivers tab. Ubuntu will search your system for proprietary hardware and, if it finds drivers, offer to install them. At that point, it will ask for authentication.

Was that just a typo here, or on the c-line as well?
"uprade"

Proper spelling in commandline is essential like vitamins and minerals are to the body.

Take your time when you type and don't rush:-
