This morning I tried to upgrade my netbook to 10.10 . During the instalation bit of the upgrade (about half way through it) it stalled and stoped doing anything. I could still move the cursor, but couldn't open anything. I had the console view open on the updater, but unfortunately can't tell you what package it got stuck on because it didn't all fit on the screen of my netbook (a problem I have had with a few programmes since installing netbook remix). I left it for half an hour to see if anything happened, it didn't, so I turned the netbook off and on again.
On turning it back on it got as far as giving me a cursor, showing the time on the bar across the login screen and showing me the name of my netbook. It did not give me a log in screen. Clicking the name of the netbook replaced the name with "10.10" .
What can I do now, is there a way I can complete the interrupted install from ubuntu live or revert back to 10.4 and try again? Is there a way of booting into a console and running the update from there?
Thanks in advance, your help would really be appreciated.
