Well! As some point during file download the OS decided that there was something wrong with the screensaver but did not offer options to fix it or turn it off. Since I had no way to see the display and determine if the upgrade was done, I switched to tty2, logged in as root, and killed xscreensaver. That locked the system and took away the cursor. No way to change console, move the cursor, or anything. I'm now downloading the xubuntu-11.10.iso and will re-install. Fortunately, ~/ was backup on on a flash drive just a couple of days ago. Has anyone else experienced this? I've done package and distribution upgrades before on that box and they always went smoothly.
