Unable update from 23.7.12 to 24.1.8 - SOLVED

You can actually edit the thread title and mark it [Solved]

So I am now running 24.1.8 and the 3 things I learned were -

- use SSH/console for updating/upgrading, as doing this through the webGUI is unreliable or wont work at all.
- pressing Q (not esc, space, enter) will quit the text file when attempting an update via the console.
- even though progress would appear to have hung when doing the update via the console via SSH, clicking into and pressing enter will refresh the window.

So thank you everyone that helped and gave advice (Franco, Patrick and Newsense), that helped me to help myself. The issue can be marked as resolved :-)

Just an update to first point. I just noticed that on the update tab on the webGUI, I had NOT been scrolling all the way to the bottom. So all this time when checking for updates I thought it was failing, you live and learn. Just updated to 24.1.9_3, doh!

No worries. The placement on the bottom was a deliberate choice to make people aware of all the things that are going to be changed during the update process.

...bought, but the scroll bar could be slightly more obvious for beginners...

That's just a theme tweak I think. Suggestions welcome.
