i have use the command sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, it corroupted my parrot os.
I installed it agian and i start updating it through the pop up message shown after parrot installation. It was unable to boot.
Now I am using it without upgrade.
Thanks for the report.
Curious:
-
Is it possible you shut the machine down before an upgrade was complete?
-
Was this a major version upgrade? (has it been a while since upgrading?)
Hi Mark!
https://docs.parrotlinux.org/faq/
How do I upgrade my system?
First please, do NOT use apt-get upgrade
. Because ParrotOS is a rolling distribution and how APT works, the command will cause considerable problems to your system. We don’t recommend apt-get
in general as the command is not really meant for end-users. The following are the recommended ways to update your system:
- First method
Open a terminal window (default is Alt+T) and launch the following command:
sudo parrot-upgrade
- Second method
Open a terminal window and launch the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
- Third method
Open System > Administration > Package Manager (synaptic)
Then click on the button to update the packages list.
Click on the other button to select the upgrades and finally apply the changes.
