Hello,
I had Ubuntu 8 something with two users - me and my girlfriend. Last night I started the upgrade process (to 9.04) on the administrator's side (user Me)
my girlfriend was working away this afternoon on her side and when I stepped in and flipped out of her user account over to mine to check the progress of the upgrade, when I flipped back to her side, the system seemed to hang.
after waiting a few minutes, I forced a power off.
on restarting, it comes to a blank coloured screen with a pointer arrow (which moves).
what have I done and how to I undo it?
I can imagine powering down in the middle of an upgrade was not wise, but I didn't know how else to proceed.
