[Trisquel-users] Trisquel 8 upgrade help

[gregmb]

So I was trying to update from 7 to 8 and I got an error that some things  
hadn't fully installed and I should report the bug. I hit ok and then I got a  
popup saying 8 had successfully installed and my computer reset. When it came  
back up, there were a few new programs and everything was moved around, but  
it still had much of the same feel and Gnome apps and some programs weren't  
executing, so I reset again. Now it loads up to a desktop screen with nothing  
else. There is no bar or menu. Most of my keyboard shortcuts don't work. I  
can get to a terminal or settings through the right-click menu, not  
shortcuts, but that's about it. I've tried (sudo) apt-get update/upgrade,  
dist-upgrade, aptitude and a couple other things from looking through the  
manuals for those commands. It still doesn't seem fully installed. I'm still  
pretty new to GNU/Linux and the command line so any help would be  
appreciated. Please let me know if you need more information

Thanks in advance.
