[Bug 2084632] Re: System consistently destroyed when upgrading 23.10 to 24.04

[Jeffrey S Laing]

Okay...  I have re-tried the upgrade and recovered the requested files.
They are in the attached .zip file.  Please let me know if there is
anything more that I can do to help.

To answer the previous question: No, I am not running a custom kernel,
and I have not replaced any key packages with PPA versions.

Thank you!
Jeff

Title:
  System consistently destroyed when upgrading 23.10 to 24.04

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

Bug description:
  Lenovo Thinkpad P14s (AMD Ryzen 7) 64GB RAM, 4TB SSD
  Installed 23.10 eleven months ago because no other Ubuntu distro would run on this product.  I would like to upgrade to 24.04.1.  I've attempted the upgrade half a dozen times (both 24.04 and 24.04.1), but it always fails and leaves the system in an unusable state.  The fail screen asks me to attach the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ to the bug report, but with the system unusable, it is difficult to recover them.  If desired, I will boot a rescue system to get them before restoring my (fortunately) backed-up disk image.

  My most recent attempt was done from a virtual console, and I believe
  scroll-back on these was removed from the kernel recently.  Thus, I
  have only one page of info, which I photographed, and then ran OCR on
  from the restored system.  Output follows:
