A dimwit neighbour decide not allow synaptic to finish updating and force shut it down to go watch football (american). Now he keeps getting warnings of multiple rpm versions. I can't go fix it for obvious reasons. So I'm hoping to give him some command that would resolve this. Otherwise, he has to drop off. He's "extremely social" if you know what I mean. Sadly he's a good old friend's son, I can't really say no.
This is the same person who decided his new snowblower could clean his "short" drive way without engine oil.
Why crackmonkeys should not be allowed to own tech...
I know I'm going to end up having to do it, but I thought I'd ask.

After 86 years, my dearest kate, I have learned that trying to head off such behaviour is essentially thankless, they cannot be made to understand that you are trying to help when you object to such self destructive behaviour.
Sometimes its best to let them sort it out themselves. His answer is probably to reinstall, probably loseing any work he may have already done with it, including his accounts receivable, which could be an expensive lesson.
If you have to do the reinstall, you should become the first user, with a longer pw you never share, and no root pw, making him a non-priviledged user, but make sure sshd is running and that you are the only one that can run sudo. That way you can log in and do maintenance/updates etc from your place, undisturbed by prying eyes.
Such self-defense is not a personality problem. All he needs to learn is to shut off the monitor only and leave it running, 24/7. Just make sure it has enough memory so he can watch football at the same time you are sorting his latest basket of rattlesnakes. If his network connection is dynamic so his net address is volatile, have a late boot script email you its address anytime its rebooted.
Good luck girl, stay safe and well.
Wise words.
I'm repairing for his mother's sake. Steve, never had the pwds. His brother ran the update with simple instruction. Leave it alone, til he returns with his mother.
Didn't work out.
Oh well.
Cheers,
Kate

That child needs a leash, a short one. I'd bet he was taking advantage of the opportunity before the door closed as they were leaving.

Thanks Alie. Will do for the future. But I'm going to reinstall to the latest version of BG PLOS. Plus I have to replace the sound card and bluray player.
Speaking latest, any new ISO on the horizon?
Hope all is well there with you and yours,
Kate
