Re: beta1: locked out during dist-upgrade?
I've found many times this behavior with Ubuntu-Gnome 14.04 during some package upgrades with update-manager. In this case, no "failed" message. Only in some case, changing between [Enter] key and click [Ok] button did the trick.

Problem in my case is that, with the dist-upgrade running in a terminal in the GNOME session, I was unable to see how far the process actually is. Rebooting, consequently, left me with a black screen, and it took me a while to reboot, find a virtual terminal to log in and manually run dpkg --pending --configure to make sure _all_ the downloaded yet unconfigured packages were completely installed to make the system correctly start up again. Maybe the upgrade procedure should in some way take care of this case, even though I have no real idea how... - disable screen lock during upgrade altogether?

The same happened to me when I upgraded from Ubuntu Gnome 15.04 to 15.10 few days ago. I tried to kill the lock screen but could not find how. I did a restart to fix it. --- Regards, Usama On 25-02-2016 12:13, Kristian Rink wrote: > Folks; > > just dist-upgraded one of my 15.10 machines to current 16.04 repos. > Overally, things work pretty smooth but things got a bit messy during > upgrade: I left my computer unattended for a while.
