Hi there.
I checked for updates in Synaptic and saw a slew of preliminary stable
updates.
It didn't occur to me that running a Trinity update inside of Trinity
might be a bad idea.
That is, until my desktop disappeared.
I did a pstree check to see if the update had finished, which it had,
probably because Synaptic was killed.
Now there is no record of the updates in Synaptics history and the
updates are no longer present - did it succeed?
Just a heads up!
P.S. should I do anything to try to recover the update history?
Do I need to be worried?

Thanks for the info,
I am using Stretch and preliminary stable builds, I normally update
while using my workstation, not necessarily best practices, spoiled by
Debian.
So I tried it to see...oopps, performed exactly as you posted.
This is not my expected behavior, I noticed that Debian was doing a
security update on some xorg, xorg-server stuff..Nics suggestion fixed
the issue, having the xserver stop while working is, hmmm..stressful.
Suggest others update from a non X environment this time.
