For a long time, software updater does not update. When it notifies there are available updates, I run install and it starts; however, after 1-2 seconds it suddenly disappear and does not update obviously. Before it disappears, at the bottom of the progress window, it says something like 'Waiting for authentication' (but I am not sure because it disappears very very fast. Though I run it again and again, I couldn't read it precisely)

I run these commands from the terminal to update manually:

sudo apt-get install update
sudo apt-get install upgrade

After that, some of the updates(e.g chromium etc.) has been installed but there are others that are not updated:

Here is the left ones

You are trying to do something the commands are not built to do! The correct way to update is :

Sudo apt-get update

This update the cash. The new way is:

Sudo apt update

Likewise with the actual upgrade:

Sudo apt-get upgrade  /  sudo apt upgrade

Do see the manual for the install options, You have installed the Update and the Upgrade programs, they come standard with any Ubuntu flavor, and most other Debians!
