Public bug reported: I upgraded my old crappy box to 19.10 beta from 19.04, things did not go well the upgrade tool eoan it did not run well I could not get many of the buttons to work by clicking I had to use tab and enter, then the thing that's supposed stop it locking fail while I was asleep; woke up it was locked, and when I tried to unlock it I just got a blank screen.
I had to ssh in to it find out what was going on I found it was stuck I gave it an hour to come out of it, it didn't, so I killed the processes with sudo kill -1 pid-of-the-python-program pid-of-the-shell-script then I rebooted it by sudo shutdown, and ssh in again and it was still sick and half done, so I called sudo apt upgrade, which didn't work but gave me the dpkg (sudo dpkg --configure -a) command to use, I ran that and it cleaned it up a lot, and I was able to login to gnome-shell it was still on version 3.32.2 and was a little messed up but worked, I tried the update-manager -d &, that gave me a partial upgrade program which failed, in the end, I fixed it with sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and running the normal update-manager program till every thing was up to date, now it's fine but it took much drama to do it ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1846842 Title: the upgrade tool from 19.04 to 19.10 failed badly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1846842/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
