This is a bit vague, so a better explanation would be good. What
exactly do you mean "gui stopped"? Did that happen during the
update? Or at boot? Does the login screen show up? Does this
message show up after login?

That means your packages are in a state that dpkg assumes to be
consistent. However, since you upgraded recently, and apparently
still have access to your shell, could you tell us what the
contents of /etc/apt/sources.list is?
