This is the whole code:

#!/bin/bash
run_kons() {
konsole --hold \
        -p TerminalColumns=160 \
        -p TerminalRows=40     \
        -e /bin/bash -c "$*;echo $'\n\e[0;34m'Done"
}
choice=$(kdialog --title "Updates"  \
             --separate-output  \
             --checklist "Update options:" \
                 1 "List upgradable packages"             off \
