[Bug 1847679] Re: Xorg crash during upgrade to 19.10

[Raz Ziv]

Helped me fix a crash during upgrade - was thrown to login screen with no users to choose from to login. Going to terminal window (non X) I used the same procedure to complete the upgrade which seems to have worked (although it was much shorter than previous upgrades I remember).
Thank you so much hackel!

Title:
  Xorg crash during upgrade to 19.10

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This is probably the wrong package to report this against, but I just
  wanted to collect all the logs.  Please reassign as appropriate.

  Today I initiated an upgrade from 19.04 to 19.10 using `update-manager
  -cd`.  The upgrade started fine, but about halfway through installing
  packages, Xorg crashed and took me back to the terminal.  Eventually,
  X restarted and I was shown an error message that the system was in an
  unrecoverable state (I don't recall the exact wordring, I had never
  seen such a message before), with a button to exit.  From the console,
  I could see that dpkg was actually still running, waiting for user
  input regarding a conffile change.  I killed the process, then
  manually ran `dpkg --configure --pending` and everything seemed to
  finish fine.

  I have no idea if there is any post-upgrade clean-up that needs to be
  done on my system at this point.

  Please let me know if there are any additional logs I can try to dig
  up or other debugging information.
