GhostBSD upgrade failed, stuck in TTY screen

Uland

The lightdm doesn't start right away, I see a white cursor only. But I can see the TTY. I just tried upgrade from the upgrade station, 30 minutes have passed and it said "upgrades done" or something like that, but the bar was half full. Which was weird. You got some tooltip bugs there.
So I closed it and rebooted. Not only it didn't upgrade properly, I am stuck now.

At the TTY

Confirm where things are at:

> GhostBSD-version -fkov

If things have failed this should say:

14.1-STABLE
1401502
24.10.7

Let’s make sure pkg database is updated:

> sudo pkg update -f

You should be prompted to accept a kernel mismatch.

And then full send and force upgrade of all packages.

brianthehughes Ok thanks, I tried to do it via GUI since the wiki explicitly said so. But these terminal commands worked.

mrbat

Same here, same symptoms. Update Station says "Packages installed" with the bar getting stuck in the middle.
After reboot, X11 error in lightdm (cannot run in framebuffer mode ....).
I disabled the lightdm service and did as proposed
pkg update -f
and
pkg upgrade -f
which was helpful and repaired the system.
