Re: upgrade hanging
The Jessie update breaks a non-repos NVIDIA install as well. After the update I had to stop lightdm, drop to a terminal, re-install my NVIDIA drivers and reboot. I logged into xfce before rebooting and while it was functional a lot of the “appearance” and strangely keyboard shortcut settings were broken.
Strange that it would update the nv drivers if they are not installed from a repo but….

During the configuration of nvidia, a conflict occurred. The message box, alas, could not appear in front of Emacs because I had it configured to stay in front. So the upgrade hadn't really hung, rather it was waiting for me to close the message box, which I never saw. Eventually figured out what was going on, then used dpkg --configure -a to finish configuring the nvidia. Still got the warning, but the message indicated it would be resolved with a restart, which it was.
