Public bug reported: In the middle of a release upgrade, I am suddenly presented with a crash report. I am in the middle of it, so I do not know wether this will leave me with an incomplete system (again, after the bug about my processor that DOES support pae, but is not recognized) or not.
I did not do anything special, other than: sudo do-release-upgrade -d I added the -d option because even upgrading from a less-than a year old Xubuntu version (13.04 to 13.10, current) no longer works normally. Output of lsb_release -rd: Description: Ubuntu 13.10 Release: 13.10 But notice that I am in the middle of upgrading to that version. I would off course expect the release upgrade to succeed, not a crash report. For the record, I am upgrading the machine over an SSH connection with X support enabled.
