Your command is wrong. There's a space missing. You need

update-manager -cd

Note the space between update-manager and -cd.

I tested Alt+F2 in a fully updated VM of Ubuntu 16.04.

Initially, I see this which is logical and self-explanatory:

Then, typing just u, lists a lot of commands starting with u:

Typing more stuff in reduces the clutter to just one item:

At this point, if I pressed Tab, the item would be highlighted and if I then pressed Enter, update manager would launch.

However, I further need to add the -c and -d options which can be added by combining them as -cd:

Now, I can press Tab and then press Enter or just double-click on the icon showing me update-manager -cd.

Based on the image you've included, you're not seeing what I've shown above and I can't understand why.

For this reason, I suggest you

• backup your data (images, documents, etc) to an external device


• download the Ubuntu 18.04 iso, make a Live USB, test it as described here and then


• do a clean install

All the best!

The Alt+F2 run command box works with Tab-completion, much like the bash shell in the terminal. Like in the shell, pressing Tab will continue completing the command if there is only one possibility. If there are multiple possibilities, Tab will not react, just like in the bash shell. However, and here comes the difference, in the bash shell, you can press a second time on tab to show all possibilities. In the Alt+F2 run command box, that function is not there: the dialog does not react. Just continue typing one or more letters: at some point, hitting Tab will continue completion.

  Edit your post and indicate exactly what you type, what you expect to see and what does not work according to your expectations. Then we will know better what you actually do, what you actually expect, and be able to better pinpoint what is not according to your expectations.
