I was doing a regular Software Update, and after the usual update, a popup prompt asked me if I want to upgrade from Ubuntu 22 to 24. I accepted and started the process.
In the part where packages were being installed, there was a failure to download and install (or it wasn't available) pulseaudio. And I saw that the URL was trying to get it from the server of my country. The whole process just stopped after this without telling me what I was supposed to do. The OS desktop GUI was still running, but things were already altered and uninstalled.
EDIT: I then also noticed that I wasn't connected to the internet, and when I tried to open "Settings" in order to try to check the wifi settings, it wouldn't open.
EDIT: The answers in Major software missing after 24.04.1 LTS upgrade is something i cannot immediately follow because when I get to the Ubuntu console i don't have a wi-fi internet connection.
I was planning to go into the Software Updater GUI app and change the download source of the Ubuntu packages to the main Ubuntu server (instead of the one in my country) and then figure out how to resume or restart the upgrade process, but it could no longer be found in the GUI, even when I typed to search for it. I decided I was going to try to restart the computer and maybe it would appear again, but I accidentally clicked on "Lock" instead of "Restart", and once it got to the lock screen, I could not type in my password to unlock the computer because it seemed like the textbox kept on going out of focus and no characters could be typed in it. At this point, I force powered on and powered off my computer in order to restart. When the computer started again, the Ubuntu OS booted into a black CLI terminal instead of into a GUI. Right now, I have no idea what I'm supposed to do.
I have provided the details and story of how I ended up in the situation where the Ubuntu OS is not in a proper state, and hopefully, based on that, can someone recommend what action to take?
