how can i close this thread?

You can't, only mods and admins can, and they do it only when necessary.

What you can, and should do is to mark the thread as [SOLVED] using "Thread Tools" link above the top post.

portugalthephilosoph; Hi ! Welcome to the forum.

This thread a very old, your post is not likely to get much notice;
May I suggest that you start your own new thread and in this new thread include the outputs - Between Code Tags - of terminal commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-gt upgrade

help is what we do
