I just tried doing the install without the encrypted partition and only a root user to check that would still boot after using expert mode to do the install. I'll do the install as I did before and try to compare fstab to the available partitions.
I'm sure I already tried updating the sources.list, but I'd already installed a desktop and there were errors when I tried to apt update and apt upgrade/dist-upgrade.
Its going to be way easier to upgrade via apt. Can you share what errors you were seeing?
I tried a dist-upgrade in a virtual machine with xfce then left it for a bit. When I got back, black screen with a terminal cursor in the top right. I left it for a bit more, then tried to get a tty terminal using the keyboard shortcuts that Boxes provides, but it would only show the login for a split second before returning to the blank screen with just a cursor.
I decided to try to soft restart with the button in boxes. It seemed to shutdown successfully, but when it tried to boot back up it gave a kernel panic instead.
