ps -aux|more would be a good one, and kill -9 (processes id)
(This will search all the process and will kill the one that you want)
Su.
To log onto root for whatever reason *So you don't need to do sudo all the time i guess
.*sudo passwd
Set teh SU password
(su) Sudo apt-get update.
Updates everything
My contribution ;)
