Hi Rebecca, Glad the other install went smooth. I think I remember a warning in earlier release notes against running the upgrade in a graphical console. What you always can do, though, is to open a screen or tmux session. That could be attached to even if your graphical console is not reacting anymore. (Alt+Fn knowledge is probably in the decline so it might still be a good idea to mention it in any upgrade guides.) All the best Michael
