[GRLUG] apt unattended upgrade inhibiting reboot?

[Grand Rapids Linux Users Group]

"sudo kill 148112" did not solve the problem. Process 148112 is still 
inhibiting.

"systemctl reboot -i" hung. I finally shut it down using power button. 
When it rebooted it did a firmware upgrade.

I'm guessing that maybe the "unattended-upgr" process had hung while 
trying to do that?


[sudo] password for eric:
eric at eric-XPS-9315:~$ reboot
Operation inhibited by "APT" (PID 148112 "unattended-upgr", user root), 
reason is "APT is installing or removing packages".
Please retry operation after closing inhibitors and logging out other users.
Alternatively, ignore inhibitors and users with 'systemctl reboot -i'.
