Update not updating. Don't know if Snap is updating
So after finding out how to tell Discover to stop annoying me every few hours with an update, rather than once a week, or when I have time to do an update (after a backup), now it appears I can't update
I tried the old fashion "sudo apt update. Sudo apt upgrade. And even sudo apt dist-upgrade.... dist-upgrade did something, but I still get messages about "some packages may have been kept back due to phasing".
WTH is "phasing" ?
Also. Another problem. I was going through my emails (thunderbird SNAP), and noticed "restart required for update". I thought that one of my add-ons had updated and needed a restart, so I did.
I LOST ALL THE EMAILS AND WORK I HAD COMPLETED SINCE that Thunderbird SESSION STARTED !!!
I was not impressed. This "SNAP" update just wiped out any changes. This really annoyed me <stronger language deleted>, which is why I started to look for disabling "background" updates\, disabling services.
I can put together a list of what I have disabled if needed.
Now somewhere I may have disabled some essential update service, but from what I was able to piece together, I only disabled SNAP and the automatic services. I did disable SNAP completely and Thunderbird wouldn't even start, but I fixed that.
Q- Is there, or has someone compiled a list of "automatic background" update services?
Q-Is there a list of ESSENTIAL update or upgrade services that should be running?
