I have some updates due to install (Xubuntu 16.04). Fine. When I try
to run them I get a message that they include some from untrusted
sources. I have looked through the list and I am happy to continue.

So I click on OK and the updater just closes down. so I tried removing
the tick symbol from the ones that looked to be the problem but to no
avail.

How can I force these updates to go ahead?

Thanks,

I'd swap to a terminal window and run:

# apt-get update
# apt-get upgrade

And see what happens. You might get a better error message.

It wouldn't hurt to do...

# apt-get autoremove

...too since you're there.

Thanks. I have run update and upgrade and they went OK. The computer is now reported as being up to date. I have not bothered with the remove. It is a fairly new desktop and shouldn't have any unnecessary files, or not many anyway. I will keep that in mind though,

Neil
