I have a HP Mini 210-1170NR that I have been using since Ubuntu 14 I believe. I have at it at 16 and currently (recently re-install 17.10 because of the possible "bug" in upgrading to 18.10.1 or even a fresh install of 18.10.1 on this same system. I believe I do remembering upgrading to 18.10 with success, but when it tries to go to 18.10.1 that is where the issue occurs.
Through at least 3 attempts to upgrade my laptop to 18.10.1 it will go through the upgrade with out any errors or warnings until it does the last reboot into the updated version. It will bring up the screen that just has Ubuntu on it with the row of dots, it will go through at least one cycle of changing the colors of the dots, it will display the mouse pointer, which will not move when the mouse is moved, there will be some activity on the drive (the drive light will flash for about 5 minutes, but not sure of the exact time) then even it will not flash anymore. The screen will go blank after no activity, but moving the mouse or clicking on keys will not cause the screen to turn the display back on.
Since the information gathered here is more for a working system and not the system that is having issues, and I seem to be able to re-create the issue at will, I will try and proceed with the upgrade to 18.10.1 and see if it "works" this time.
What I can use from you is maybe an iso or instructions to possibly gather additional information that could be used to determine why it is not completing the update process.
Any assistants you can provide will be gratefully appreciated. This is an old windows system that I put Ubuntu on and it could be I go back to 16.. and leave it there.
