I have three Lenovo lsaptops. I am ubpgrading from 14.04 to 16.04. On
the first two (an X61s and aT400) the installation stalled and the
machine crashed. Despite following the various suggestions to complete
the installations. I finished up restoring 14.04 and then using my
backups to restore my data. I both cases the problem arose because the
upgrade script halted at installing MS fonts.
I have a third machine, a lenovo t400. I upgraded this on Sunday for
14.04 to 16.04 with no problem. The upgrade script did not halt at the
MsFonts install and completed correctly, leaving my Home directories intact.
After fully checking the X61s and backing up the home directory I
decided to try the upgrade again. This time it completed successfully
with no hitch. I then upgraded the first of the T400, again with no
hitch and full preservation of my data.
Was there any modification made to the upgrade script, after Saturday
which could explain this?
