    Greetings,

    I had a series of update problems on eOS.
    At first, I interrupted an update because my son urged me to go play with him. Unfortunately, after that, updates didn't work anymore.

    I tried what was proposed on this page
    https://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/upgrade-to-elementary-os-juno/
    thinking it would help me to restore the ability to update. I hadn't made any search about what Juno was.

    But after that, boot was freezing. Twice I had the boot running more than one hour and a half, but not working. The third time, I could access the command line (the same as with Ctrl Alt F1) and made a few updates.

    After that, I tried to boot a former version of eOS in recovery mode, and succeeded in upgrading totally to Juno. But I still wasn't unable to boot.
    My question is : how to repair boot whan it is not working? I am a newbie in Linux. I know there is a "boot repair" command, but would like to use it properly., i.e; with the help of someone more experienced than me.

    (When I boot and push on Windows + TAB, I have a message
    Starting Cleanup of Temporary Directories
    A start job is running for Hold until boot process finishes up (1hour 30 min)?
    Don't know if it might help)

    Thanks to anyone tryning to help me.

    Brilliant idea to use a VM, I always wondered how to get a recording of the full screen terminal. It really would help to use a large font for that terminal. Also, couldn't you create a bash script to take care of most of those commands? A user could download, put it in root and run it from there so they don't need to worry about typos?
