I probably did add the code block after. Lesson learned! And this is partly why I am having more issues with this. It has been very frustating, after it worked last night, it isn’t now.

I think I know what the issue is but it is time consuming writing the SD image and running the script so if you can bear with me. I want to test it at least twice before I update here.

I suspect the 2 dashes before

--force-confdef
--force-confnew

have been replaced by a single dash of a different character type. Again, because I put the code block around the text after I copied it.

This should be the correct code but let me test again to make sure. It has worked once, just want to do it again and will update.

sudo apt-get -y -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confdef" -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confnew" full-upgrade

In the mean time, the above code will auto select the default option if one is available and then answer Yes if there is no default. In the case of the prompt that was appearing, the old configuration file ‘/etc/xdg/labwc-greeter/autostart’ is kept. If you want the package maintainers file instead just remove the first option:

-o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confdef"

@sdetweil So it does, not sure why, I copied it from the terminal window.

@sdetweil

It seemed to get through the upgrade stage very quickly and

apt-get upgrade  started
apt-get upgrade result =rc=0 Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...

in the log seems to show the upgrade didn’t work. I will run the script locally on the pi and send the output to the termnial to see what is happening but it won’t be tonight, I have to go out now.

Update tomorrow…
