Beginners • Re: Installing new packages on RPiOS before update notifications appear on taskbar

$

I've noticed, after booting up Raspberry Pi OS, manual updating of the OS ('sudo apt update', 'sudo apt full-upgrade' via terminal) causes an error if this is attempted prior to an update notification appearing in the taskbar.

I'm presuming this is because there is some kind of lock preventing more than one apt operation from running at any time.

Yet, it's apparently possible at the same time to install new packages (such as ufw) prior to the notification appearing.

Could doing that possibly cause any conflicts or issues?
Are you trying to run sudo apt update and sudo apt full-upgrade "together" rather than:

Code:

sudo apt update
wait ..., then

Code:

apt list --upgradable
(to see what might be upgraded etc.)
and then ...

Code:

sudo apt full-upgrade
and watch/wait for the upgrade process to complete.
('tis what I usually do, often without there having been a taskbar notification, which may "catch" an interim upgrade of an "odd" package or two)
