Im not sure why you're getting permission denied. Maybe with sudo you dont have access to update/upgrade?? Try su - to root account and then try update/upgrade.

Yes. go ahead and run it.
Code:
# apt-get autoremove
From the man page:
Code:
autoremove
autoremove is used to remove packages that were automatically
installed to satisfy dependencies for some package and that are no
more needed.

Also, since we removed the mozilla stuff from the repos, if you want the latest version of Firefox from the debian repos, run:
Code:
apt-get install firefox-esr
This will get you up to 52.2.0 as of today. |

On my KDE desktop there is a system notification on my system tray that alerts me when there are updates and usually let that utility run and update my system. I'm not sure what its called but it works great. I have a debian jessie machine at work with Mate desktop and that auto-check utility is not there, well maybe i just need to install it, but I dont care. I just manually run the update/upgrade commands every couple weeks. Im sure you can make a cron job to do this as well. |
