283063 Hello, I have just responded to the Ubuntu facility
¨Upgrade available for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS to 18.04 LTS¨.
Before upgrading, I ensured that the 16.04 LTS system was fully updated.
I then clicked on the Ubuntu 18.04 LTS upgrade installation icon.
The software download completed successfully, and the ¨18.04 LTS Beaver¨ Desktop was shown.
Due to other commitments, I delayed installing additional software on the new 18.04 LTS and shut down the system.
Later, in starting the new 18.04 LTS it showed the 18.04 LTS Desktop ¨without any icons¨, but it now showed 3 animated chevrons coming from the bottom of screen (see attached image).
As this has been like this for 2 days now, and I cannot get any icons or access Terminal etc. Can anyone tell me what is [or not] happening, ie is the system still downloading upgrades / installing software?
I have tried closing / shutting down and rebooting, but Desktop is still as above!
What are the options available to assist me get the Desktop back on the Ubuntu 18.04 LTS system?
My PC is a cirrus7 nimbus with SSD.
Operating System: 64-bit.
Thank you in advance for any offers of help from Forum members.
