Simple. Click on update-manager...if there are no updates to be
installed...click on "check". If there are updates, click on "Install".
When the installation begins I presume update-manager runs a terminal,
because that is where I see the message "Term not set"


How does the terminal

Update-manager is a GTK program...so it'll run from the desktop.

Readline I gather is the default the system uses when Dialog isn't
available.
