For the archives, and for anyone else reading in real time: it is
strongly recommended that you do NOT perform an upgrade while logged
into a Desktop Environment.
The best choice is to log out of your Desktop Environment entirely,
then login on a console as root. Perform the upgrade from there,
and reboot. This may mean you need to write down the commands, or
copy them into a text file for reference from the console, if you
can't remember them.
