I had probably too many things open and all these programs minimized and the computer wouldn't let me close them. Rather than just powering off and since I could still access the terminal, I went to another computer and Googled how to shut down a Linux computer from the terminal.
It gave me this and I tried it:
sudo /sbin/shutdown -r now
It shut down the computer and re-booted it.
I noticed there was a software update in the toolbar but when I went to install it, it didn't. It said something like 'dependencies couldn't be fetched' or 'installation failed.' The bottom line is they didn't install.
So I went into the terminal and ran:
sudo apt-get update
and then
sudo apt-get upgrade
And the upgrade balked, or at least seemed to, at installing the updates. It suggested running sudo apt-get update again so I did, but it again balked at installing the updates. It also suggested
try with --fix-missing?
but I was feeling like I was getting in over my head so I didn't try that.
It seemed to balk specifically on

And I have been having issues with Mega (cloud storage) for a while. But I was concerned that the security updates (I noticed there were a lot of security updates in the apt-get update--is it okay to post all that stuff here or is it a bad idea to show that stuff in a public forum?) and other important things like browser updates seemed like they were not being installed either.
So, were those security updates and browser updates installed and only the Mega stuff was not installed? (It didn't
seem like anything installed, the

Can you tell from that if the important stuff installed? (I'm not worried about Mega.) Is there anything I need to do?
And maybe it's not a good idea to use that terminal command again if things get locked up? Better to just power the computer down? Thanks.
