GUI Updates script

Quick fix for the updates. Replace the line 15 in /usr/scripts/updates with this.

--- Code: ---sudo killall -9 synaptic || echo ok && killall -9 gdebi-gtk || echo ok && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
--- End code ---

@Scott, that particular 'error' stems from the script closing gdebi or synaptic if they are open so that Install Updates completes uninterrupted. It was an addition I made recently as I've noticed newbies posting Install Updates doesn't complete, in the end only to find out they have another package manager open. I need to fine tune it and put an 'if, else' statement in there to suppress the reported 'error'. Thank you for helping with the testing :)

@jabbott, this thread is specifically about a new GUI updates script. Which area of the forum did you originally post your thread? I see nothing under the Hardware Support > Network section in your name. If you have not started one there yet, please do so to receive the correct Support. Thank you.

Scott:
It looks like the update error above (reply #4) in the screenshot has nothing to do with the updatestest script but with package:
lite-software 1.0-0330-linuxlite.

This line in the updates script seems to be the cause
sudo killall -9 synaptic && killall -9 gdebi-gtk && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Specifically these commands
killall -9 synaptic && killall -9 gdebi-gtk

Scott:
The script is running well for me (LL 2.2/64 Beta on VBox). Possibly one small issue (see note at bottom). After running the new script(updatestest) the original script "install updates" will generate an error:



Commenting out these in "install updates" will fix it or at least stop the error.
killall -9 synaptic
killall -9 gdebi-gtk

Some troubleshooting I tried
logout/login didn't help
reboot didn't didn't help

Note. I say this is a possible issue because when this script is released I assume the orginal script "install updates" will be removed.

Scott:
@Jerry - Testing the script now. I'll have some feedback soon.
