I can’t think of much you could do beyond watching for strange behavior, checking logs regularly, and keeping abreast of news related to this issue. As a general rule I’m an advocate of fresh installs if you aren’t on a rolling release for this very reason. > On Jun 22, 2019, at 8:54 PM, Mike Miller <mbmiller+l at gmail.com> wrote: > > I just upgraded two of my machines from 18.04 LTS to 19.04. The intermediary upgrade to 18.10 went fine, but the upgrade from 18.10 to 19.04 had some issues.
