|    Upgrade apparently stalled out    |

      From: michael.stemper@gmail.com              Yesterday afternoon, I finally broke down and pushed the "Upgrade" button       on one of my boxes, to move it from 18.04 to 20.04.              Everything started off just fine. After an hour or so, I had a little window       with a task checklist. It spent an hour or so half-way through "Calculating       changes" (text from memory).              I went and did other things. A couple of hours later, I checked on it, and       this checklist was gone. In its place was what looked like a large xterm,       roughly 800x600 pixels by eyeballing it.              No text in it, no cursor, no title bar, no chrome of any kind. I can move       it around, but that's rather pointless.              The box is still happily running cronjobs and responding to sftp and ssh       requests.              What do I need to do to either push the upgrade to completion or to undo it?       It seems to be in a rather precarious situation at the moment.              --       Michael F.
