HOWEVER, I would like a spot of advice
While I'm far from being a linux mage, I'll offer this advice:

Never, ever, go anywhere near an OS with the word "beta" in its name.

I have lost the ability to unlock my sources list, and otherwise
authenticate any actions;
Do you still have root access? Can you pkexec your way out of trouble?

pkexec apt-get ...


I finally, after much tooth-sucking, went to "Users" and found that the upgrade had downgraded me from Admin; was able to reset as Admin easily enoug; felt a real fool having been cursing and swearing for about 90 minutes.

NOW I'm having fun with the XFCE desktop blanking.
