Patching Basics Challenge Exercise

I’m trying to complete the Patching Basics challenge exercise lab and I can’t see where I’m going wrong - I’m getting a list of the available Windows Updates (Get-WindowsUpdates) including “KB890830” which I’m told to install in the challenge instructions.

But when I try and install the stated update (Get-WindowsUpdate -Install -KB890830) the parameter ‘KB890830’ cannot be found

Any guidance would be really appreciated!

Use the command Get-WindowsUpdate -Install -KBArticleID followed by the KB number of the update you wish to install.

Hi @JosephWhite , what must be the package name, I run the “sudu apt install --only-upgrade nautilus” and the app were not updated?

Be sure you run “sudo apt update” first :slight_smile:

Thank you @JosephWhite, I had updated the packages before, but it didn’t work. I repeated the steps, and it worked.

Can anybody help me get the challenge2 flag? Nothing I do is working. I do the update and nothing seems to be happening. I can’t move on and I really can’t figure this out.

Are you navigating to the desktop and running the challenge2.sh file?

cd Desktop
./challenge2.sh

I’ve rephrased the instructions to be a little bit clearer on how to do this. Just tested the lab and confirmed the flag pops as expected if you run the script after updating nautilus.
