So the upgrade from 18.04 to 19.10 is hanging at the clean up stage. Removing libcdd-tools. Terminals will no longer open. I can still open XTerm.

Should I just bit the bullet and restart?

UPDATE: I rebooted. The install process had crashed. Now takes a long time to start up, is offline, screen res off etc. Not sure what state it is in. Are there any principles in the upgrade process that mean it can rerun. It is now reporting 19.10 as the version.

UPDATE: See the comments below for the steps I have tried. Basically, I had to do dpkg --configure -a then redo the upgrade to finish it up. Reboot. Reinstall all the drivers. Wifi is still busted when it was working before. Probably need a new tplink driver.

  • Boot into recovery mode by holding Shift key when system starts to boot and entering into "Adavnced Options for Ubuntu". Then select root and press Enter. Run dpkg --configure -a. – Kulfy Mar 25 '20 at 18:04

    There's no whitespace between -- and configure. – Kulfy Mar 25 '20 at 18:28
  • Yeah, got that eventually :) ... almost back to normal I think. Somehow ALL the drivers got wiped. Still chasing wifi. – mathtick Mar 25 '20 at 18:30
