I was running 17.04 on my really ancient 256Mb PIII. I use it mainly for reading pdf docs while I'm programming on other machines. Since 2 years ago, it has been coming up with a software upgrade icon. I decided to update 18.04 two days ago. I know 19.04 is out but it did not give me that option.

Went through a question and answer session and then a reset. After booting up, nothing has appeared on the screen since the reset. The disk light flashes occasionally so I assume it is doing something.

Is there anything key sequence I can press (I've tried all the function keys already) to get it to show me what it is doing? I'd just to know what it is doing.

So you want to know what the upgrade is doing? This is usually printed in the terminal if that's where you Sudo apt update && Sudo apt upgrade && Sudo apt install dist-upgrade

Then hear should be the output of updated repository (ies) The upgrade what's being installed as the upgrade an then the distribution upgrade output linux headers etc

apt-list --upgradeable will give u all the packages upgrade will upgrade, hope this helps
