So. Eventually I decided to hold the power button down to restart. To my surprise I was returned to a working f38. From here I performed the upgrade from the terminal… And it seems everything works now. Albeight my system feels pretty slow.
I did get this error message. But so far no problems.
If you run into problems, it’s always better to use command line tools to update or upgrade because you get feedback and see where and maybe why the update is getting stuck.
Having spent some time in this forum helping other users with their issue on upgrading, I am really questioning if the GUI upgrade should be the recommended method. It works until if there are no issues, but as soon as there is an issue, the GUI method sucks.
