When I was upgrading ubuntu, I saw an error saying that there was a difference in config files. I clicked keep, and went on. At around the end of installing the files, it asked me what I wanted to do about it, again. I clicked start shell, and then the window froze. I quit out of it, but it isn't continuing. Please help!

No worries, Ubuntu was obviously built to be reliable because, I rebooted, and it self-repaired! #ubuntumasterrace

That's good! Hopefully, it will continue having everything functioning as designed.

One thing to keep in main: ALWAYS back up everything to an external source before upgrading!

I personally have had next to no success in upgrading. I always backup everything and do a clean install.
